AI has become the #1 source of data leakage in organisations.

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Employees are feeding sensitive data into Copilots and AI tools at massive scale.

Most of it happens through unmanaged personal accounts, invisible copy/paste flows, and non-federated logins.

Traditional DLP tools don’t even see it.

A new security report from LayerX suggests that the biggest uncontrolled data-exfiltration channel in the enterprise today is AI.

According to the report

– 67% of AI usage happens on personal accounts

– 40% of uploaded files contain PII/PCI

– 77% of employees paste data into AI tools

Copy/paste has quietly become the #1 vector for data leaving the enterprise – and almost no security program is monitoring it.

In chasing productivity, companies have blown open data gates in the process

And the irony is, companies don’t even know this.
