As a leading company prepares to launch its highly anticipated product, an internal report including confidential details is circulated to key employees. One among them, tasked with summarizing the report for a meeting, decides to use a generative AI (GenAI) tool to save time. The following day, panic sets in—confidential product details end up being fodder for training AI models and consequently being the response to another question. What was meant to streamline work led to a security breach, leaving the company to deal with damage control.

Avoiding such vulnerabilities is a straightforward process with Unbound Security’s data protection solutions and AI gateway, a combination that enables companies to effectively leverage GenAI tools without compromising data security.

“When employees interact with GenAI tools, the inputs are often stored in its database for base training, giving the providers access to privileged information and creating a security loophole,” says Rajaram Srinivasan, co-founder and CEO of Unbound Security.

It offers edge-based protections to prevent sensitive and confidential data from being shared with GenAI tools. By inspecting and filtering information shared at the entry point, the firm helps organizations monitor and regulate data. This allows businesses to ensure data security while leveraging GenAI to maximize productivity.

Striking a Balance between AI Adoption and Data Security

Roughly one in four organizations deny access to Gen AI tools due to security concerns. Unbound Security delivers a balanced solution for employees to use these platforms with predefined boundaries that comply with the organization’s privacy policies. The firm’s data protection solution offers clients varying levels of control, ranging from lenient to highly restrictive, depending on the confidentiality of information.

Complementing the firm’s data protection solution is its AI gateway. This solution inspects all programmatic access to GenAI applications in client environments.

“There are now millions of AI tools built on API access to GenAI platforms like Chat GPT. Developers need security and monitoring solutions to build robust AI applications”, says Vignesh Subbiah, CTO of Unbound Security.

Unbound’s AI Gateway logs all API-based access to AI tools, enforces data security controls, and provides guardrail controls for prompt sequences. For example, it ensures that customers’ AI chatbot doesn’t answer irrelevant questions about who is a better President.

The combination of edge protection and API-level security offers a comprehensive solution to help businesses tackle the risks associated with Gen AI integration in their workflow.

Guiding Businesses to Success

The real-world impact of Unbound Security’s solutions speaks volumes about its effectiveness. After adopting the firm’s solutions, most clients who had blocked access to GenAI tools have begun to reap the benefits of using the tools effectively.

For instance, a major tech organization had previously restricted its employees from using GenAI tools through corporate firewalls. After partnering with Unbound Security, the employees could leverage these platforms securely and maximize productivity. More importantly, the firm prevented sensitive information from leaking into the network, showcasing its expertise in secure AI adoption.

When employees interact with GenAI tools, the inputs are often stored in its database for base training, giving the providers access to privileged information and creating a security loophole.

As GenAI transforms businesses worldwide, the need for robust security solutions is more pronounced than ever. By addressing the concerns around AI adoption, Unbound Security has positioned itself at the intersection of AI innovation and enterprise security.

Further cementing its position is the spot it secured in the recent batch of Y Combinator, a renowned startup accelerator that has helped launch some of the world’s highly successful technology companies. This milestone has bolstered Unbound Security’s credibility and helped the firm attract tier-one investors.

For businesses looking to harness the power of AI without compromising data security, Unbound Security offers the perfect solution. Its customizable policies, real-time data filtering and robust API gateway protection encourage companies to embrace the AI revolution confidently while keeping their data secure every step of the way.
