New Research: AI Is Already the #1 Data Exfiltration Channel in the Enterprise

New Research: AI Is Already the #1 Data Exfiltration Channel in the Enterprise

Oct 07, 2025 Artificial Intelligence / Browser Security
For years, security leaders have treated artificial intelligence as an "emerging" technology, something to keep an eye on but not yet mission-critical. A new Enterprise AI and SaaS Data Security Report by AI & Browser Security company LayerX proves just how outdated that mindset has become. Far from a future concern, AI is already the single largest uncontrolled channel for corporate data exfiltration—bigger than shadow SaaS or unmanaged file sharing. The findings, drawn from real-world enterprise browsing telemetry, reveal a counterintuitive truth: the problem with AI in enterprises isn't tomorrow's unknowns, it's today's everyday workflows. Sensitive data is already flowing into ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot at staggering rates, mostly through unmanaged accounts and invisible copy/paste channels. Traditional DLP tools—built for sanctioned, file-based environments—aren't even looking in the right direction. From "Emerging" to Essential in Record Time In just two years, AI tool...
89% of Enterprise GenAI Usage Is Invisible to Organizations Exposing Critical Security Risks, New Report Reveals

89% of Enterprise GenAI Usage Is Invisible to Organizations Exposing Critical Security Risks, New Report Reveals

Feb 27, 2025 Artificial Intelligence / Browser Security
Organizations are either already adopting GenAI solutions, evaluating strategies for integrating these tools into their business plans, or both. To drive informed decision-making and effective planning, the availability of hard data is essential—yet such data remains surprisingly scarce. The " Enterprise GenAI Data Security Report 2025 " by LayerX delivers unprecedented insights into the practical application of AI tools in the workplace, while highlighting critical vulnerabilities. Drawing on real-world telemetry from LayerX's enterprise clients, this report is one of the few reliable sources that details actual employee use of GenAI. For instance, it reveals that nearly 90% of enterprise AI usage occurs outside the visibility of IT, exposing organizations to significant risks such as data leakage and unauthorized access. Below we bring some of the report's key findings. Read the full report to refine and enhance your security strategies, leverage data...
Hands on Review: LayerX's Enterprise Browser Security Extension

Hands on Review: LayerX's Enterprise Browser Security Extension

Nov 01, 2023 Browser Security / Cybersecurity
The browser has become the main work interface in modern enterprises. It's where employees create and interact with data, and how they access organizational and external SaaS and web apps. As a result, the browser is extensively targeted by adversaries. They seek to steal the data it stores and use it for malicious access to organizational SaaS apps or the hosting machine. Additionally, unintentional data leakage via the browser has become a critical concern for organizations as well. However, traditional endpoint, network, and data protection solutions fail to protect this critical resource against advanced web-borne attacks that continuously rise in sophistication and volume. This gap leaves organizations exposed to phishing attacks, malicious browser extensions, data exposure, and data loss.  This is the challenge  LayerX  is attempting to solve. LayerX has developed a secure enterprise browser extension that can be mounted on any browser. The LayerX extension deli...

Wiz Uncovers Critical Access Bypass Flaw in AI-Powered Vibe Coding Platform Base44

Wiz Uncovers Critical Access Bypass Flaw in AI-Powered Vibe Coding Platform Base44

Jul 29, 2025 LLM Security / Vulnerability
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a now-patched critical security flaw in a popular vibe coding platform called Base44 that could allow unauthorized access to private applications built by its users. "The vulnerability we discovered was remarkably simple to exploit -- by providing only a non-secret 'app_id' value to undocumented registration and email verification endpoints, an attacker could have created a verified account for private applications on their platform," cloud security firm Wiz said in a report shared with The Hacker News. A net result of this issue is that it bypasses all authentication controls, including Single Sign-On (SSO) protections, granting full access to all the private applications and data contained within them. Following responsible disclosure on July 9, 2025, an official fix was rolled out by Wix, which owns Base44, within 24 hours. There is no evidence that the issue was ever maliciously exploited in the wild. While vibe codin...

Non-Human Access is the Path of Least Resistance: A 2023 Recap

Non-Human Access is the Path of Least Resistance: A 2023 Recap

Dec 12, 2023 Cybersecurity / GenAI Security
2023 has seen its fair share of cyber attacks, however there's one attack vector that proves to be more prominent than others - non-human access. With  11 high-profile attacks in 13 months  and an ever-growing ungoverned attack surface, non-human identities are the new perimeter, and 2023 is only the beginning.  Why non-human access is a cybercriminal's paradise  People always look for the easiest way to get what they want, and this goes for cybercrime as well. Threat actors look for the path of least resistance, and it seems that in 2023 this path was non-user access credentials (API keys, tokens, service accounts and secrets).  " 50% of the active access tokens connecting Salesforce and third-party apps are unused. In GitHub and GCP the numbers reach 33%." These non-user access credentials are used to connect apps and resources to other cloud services. What makes them a true hacker's dream is that they have no security measures like user credentials do (M...
