Exfiltration Vector

Slashdot reader spatwei writes: It is now more common for data to leave
companies through copying and pasting than through file transfers and
uploads, LayerX revealed in its Browser Security Report 2025. This shift is
largely due to generative AI (genAI), with 77% of employees pasting data into
AI prompts, and 32% of all copy-pastes from corporate accounts to non-
corporate accounts occurring within genAI tools. 'Traditional governance
built for email, file-sharing, and sanctioned SaaS didn't anticipate that
copy/paste into a browser prompt would become the dominant leak vector,'
LayerX CEO Or Eshed wrote in a blog post summarizing the report. "GenAI now
accounts for 11% of enterprise application usage," notes this article from SC
World, "with adoption rising faster than many data loss protection (DLP)
controls can keep up. Overall, 45% of employees actively use AI tools, with
67% of these tools being accessed via personal accounts and ChatGPT making up
92% of all use..." "With the rise of AI-driven browsers such as OpenAI's
Atlas and Perplexity's Comet, governance of AI tools' access to corporate
data becomes even more urgent, the LayerX report notes."
