GenAI apps such as DeepSeek can introduce significant risks, including data loss and the exposure of sensitive corporate information. Without proper oversight, 10% of GenAI prompts may contain corporate intellectual property, making unmonitored usage a potential security threat. Unmanaged GenAI applications also contribute to shadow IT, further complicating security management.

Traditional email and web filters alone miss about 33% of shadow SaaS applications because they do not monitor in-browser activity.
