Generative AI tools, especially large-scale language model-based (LLM) chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, have taken the workplace by storm.
These powerful tools can perform a wide range of tasks, from helping you write the perfect email to providing easy-to-understand summaries, freeing up time-pressed employees to focus on more strategic activities. However, his use of LLM at work is not without risks. A good example is Samsung banning his employees from using ChatGPT in May 2023 after some employees accidentally leaked sensitive data via a chatbot.

On July 20, 2023, Canadian cybersecurity provider Plurilock launched a product aimed at preventing sensitive data from being accidentally sent to such AI platforms.
This new solution, called PromptGuard, is an AI-driven cloud access security broker (CASB) that supports your employees’ use of AI while keeping sensitive data from being exposed to AI systems.
Relying on a combination of mature data loss prevention technology and new Plurilock AI platform technology, PromptGuard allows users to interact with generated AI to prevent the AI platform from receiving sensitive data through user-generated AI prompts. .
Plurilock’s technology anonymizes the prompt so as not to interfere with the user’s LLM chatbot experience.
It was developed as part of the company’s focus on generative AI safety and was built using Plurilock’s new CASB technology for AI. It is the subject of a US provisional patent application previously published on July 18, 2023.
It is available as a closed, invite-only beta experience as part of the Plurilock AI platform under their early access program.
