Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks with Cisco Umbrella's Generative AI Protection

Understanding Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Generative AI is an advanced artificial intelligence system that can create text, images, or other media based on natural language processing. Examples of generative AI systems include ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Google Bard. These systems, which are under the category of machine learning, offer rapid content creation capabilities, improved customer experience, personalized marketing, smart enterprise search, and faster product development. However, there are potential drawbacks to using generative AI such as concerns about content quality, biased data, ethical issues, intellectual property issues, and possible data leaks.

Cisco Umbrella's Approach to Generative AI Security

To address the risks associated with the use of generative AI, Cisco Umbrella provides a comprehensive solution. Information security teams can effectively manage the usage of over 70 generative AI applications through Umbrella's DNS-layer security policy, secure web gateway (SWG) policy, and data loss prevention (DLP) policy. Each organization's risk assessment and compliance requirements are taken into account to tailor the security measures accordingly.

Risk Mitigation for ChatGPT with Cisco Umbrella

Specifically targeting the risk mitigation for ChatGPT, Cisco Umbrella's DLP policy offers granular control capabilities. It can prevent the upload of sensitive enterprise data to the application, thus reducing the risk of exposure to unauthorized users. Moreover, the DLP policy can block the download of potentially unsafe content, such as ChatGPT-generated source code, which could pose a threat if introduced into private source code repositories. By providing this level of control, information security teams can ensure safe access and usage of applications, promoting productivity within the organization.
