Generative AI tools in enterprises create Shadow AI risks like data leaks, prompt injection, and AI phishing, which traditional security can't handle. A converged SASE architecture ensures visibility and real-time enforcement to secure GenAI while maintaining productivity. Download this e-book to build a GenAI-ready security strategy. Generative AI is entering enterprises via unsanctioned use, creating a new risk called Shadow AI. Unlike Shadow IT, GenAI tools process data unpredictably, making exposure harder to track. This e-book explores GenAI as both a productivity tool and security risk. It examines how attackers exploit these tools for phishing, prompt injection, and data poisoning while offering a framework for secure adoption. Key insights include: · How Shadow AI differs from Shadow IT and challenges traditional security · Risks from unsanctioned GenAI use and adversary techniques · How SASE platforms secure GenAI without stifling innovation
