Controlling ChatGPT Security Risks: Keeping Your Users Productive & Your Data Safe

Cisco outlines new capabilities in Umbrella and Secure Access to help CISOs safely manage generative AI usage—particularly ChatGPT—by discovering and assessing app activity, enforcing DLP and CASB policies, blocking or allowing usage with granular controls, and preventing risky uploads/downloads (such as source code) via source-code detection and IDM. The post emphasizes mitigating data leakage and compliance risks while enabling productivity, and guides customers on which Cisco packages and features (DNS-layer controls, SWG, Generative AI content controls) to adopt or upgrade for a robust SSE approach.
