We are excited to announce the general availability of Generative AI Content Control.
This feature empowers you to monitor and, if necessary, block content generated by ChatGPT.
We are also thrilled to share that we have expanded the scope of our Real-Time DLP coverage for Generative AI tools. Initially limited to ChatGPT, we now support all 70 AI tools in our recently released Generative AI application category. This significant expansion empowers you to broaden the AI Safe Usage use case, offering a more comprehensive and robust solution for Generative AI usage protection.
How can DLP help control ChatGPT generated content?
DLP can assist organizations in controlling generated content by scanning ChatGPT responses using Real-Time DLP policy. With this release, you can choose to scan ChatGPT responses (i.e., inbound traffic) for any type of generated content you wish to monitor or block.
Why to control AI-generated content?
Using AI-generated content may pose risks to organizations for various reasons, including copyright infringement, inaccurate information, faulty code, etc.
For example, you may wish to stop users from using AI-generated source code to prevent the usage of copyrighted or unsafe code, while others might wish to prevent the usage of AI-generated court citations for fear of filing inaccurate information.
How can I apply DLP scanning to ChatGPT responses?
Generally, Real-Time DLP scans outbound web traffic, like ChatGPT prompts, to prevent sensitive data leakage. With this release, we're introducing the ability to also scan inbound traffic by choosing the direction of traffic that Real-Time DLP scans, i.e., inbound traffic, outbound traffic, or both. This ability is currently only available for ChatGPT (both chatbot and API). Choosing to scan inbound traffic will scan ChatGPT responses.
What is the Generative AI application category in DLP?
Before this release, the destination criteria in the Real-Time DLP rules included a finite selectable list of about 20 applications. With this release, Real-Time DLP allows customers to choose any one of our 38 application categories, including Generative AI, or any of the ±4,600 available controllable apps categorized within them. The Generative AI application category, which was launched only a few months ago with 20 apps, now has 70 apps, and we're committed to continuously updating this category with top-of-mind AI tools.
Can a DLP rule be applied to the entire Generative AI application category?
Yes, a Real-Time DLP rule can be applied to an entire category or to a subset of applications within it.
