AI security
AI security for users
Let people use GenAI tools at work without sending your sensitive data to them.
AI security for users controls how employees use generative AI tools. Nexapp discovers the GenAI apps in use, allows approved ones, blocks risky ones and applies your DLP rules to prompts and uploads, from the same policy engine as the rest of your traffic.
What it does
Staff paste customer records, source code and contract drafts into public chatbots to get work done faster. Many organisations cannot see which AI tools are in use, let alone what data goes into them. Blocking everything simply pushes people to personal devices. AI security for users gives you a middle path. It identifies GenAI apps in web traffic, lets you sanction the ones the business has approved, and restricts or blocks the rest. Data rules then check what users type or upload, so sensitive content is stopped before it leaves.
How it works in Nexapp
Discovery from live traffic
Nexapp SSE classifies GenAI apps in web and SaaS traffic, so you see which tools are in use and by which users and groups.
Allow or block per tool
Write rules by user, group and app in the one policy engine that also runs SWG, CASB, DLP and ZTNA. There is no separate AI console to maintain.
DLP on prompts and uploads
The DLP patterns you already use for web and SaaS apply to text and files sent to AI tools, including card numbers, credentials and identity data.
Same rules in the office and at home
Branch users and remote users on the InstaAccess client get the same AI policy, because both are enforced from one policy engine.
Where teams use it
Keep customer data out of public chatbots
A bank allows one approved AI assistant for internal drafting, but blocks any prompt or upload that contains account numbers or identity data.
Protect source code
An IT services firm lets developers use sanctioned coding assistants, while custom DLP patterns stop proprietary code and keys being pasted into unapproved ones.
Find shadow AI in the head office
A retail head office learns which AI tools its merchandising and marketing teams have adopted, sanctions a short list and blocks the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to block public AI tools entirely?
No. You can allow the tools the business approves, block risky ones, and let DLP rules decide what data may be sent to any of them.
Is this a separate product?
No. AI security for users runs in Nexapp SSE, under the same policy engine and console as SWG, CASB, DLP and ZTNA.
How does this help with DPDP?
Stopping personal data from reaching unapproved AI services supports your DPDP security-safeguard duties, which apply from about May 2027.
Responsibility for compliance stays with your organisation.
