Is AI Leaking Your Secrets? Lock Down File Uploads in Real-Time.

Amid digital transformation, AI tools—thanks to fast data analysis and content generation—are rapidly entering everyday workflows. Yet real work with AI often involves file uploads. If commercial secrets, customer data, or core documents are uploaded to AI platforms without control, leaks and compliance incidents can follow.

How to unleash AI's value without crossing the data-security red line has become a pressing challenge.

Enterprises want AI to boost productivity—provided internal sensitive data never leaves the perimeter. To meet this need, AnySecura offers a safe-use solution for AI tools. By combining Sensitive Content Inspection, Endpoint Control, and Activity Auditing, it lets employees use AI normally while blocking unauthorized uploads of confidential files at the source.

Five Options For Safe AI Use: Fit Different Enterprise Needs

Option 1: Detect sensitive content on AI upload and block violations in real time

Best for: Organizations that want normal AI use while strictly protecting core sensitive data.

Automatic sensitive-content inspection

AnySecura pairs Sensitive Content Inspection with real-time channel monitoring to precisely govern uploads to AI apps (web and client). When a user attempts to upload a file, the system scans the content and evaluates it against policy.

Real-time exfiltration blocking

If no designated sensitive content is found, the upload proceeds. If sensitive content is detected, the system can block the transfer and lock the endpoint, immediately stopping the upload and safeguarding confidential files.

Option 2: Transparent Encryption to keep confidential files unreadable

Best for: Organizations that need deep protection for core data but allow ordinary files to be uploaded to AI tools.

Pre-encrypt documents

With Transparent Encryption, documents on employee endpoints remain encrypted at all times. When encrypted files are uploaded to AI (web or client), the platform cannot parse or read them—preventing exposure on the public internet.

Adaptive encryption on upload

AnySecura can also inspect content at upload. If sensitive content is found, the file is automatically encrypted, so AI tools (web or client) cannot recognize or read it.

Option 3: End-to-end activity auditing for full traceability

Best for: Organizations with strong compliance needs that must retain evidence for investigations.

Comprehensive upload auditing

AnySecura logs employee uploads of company files to AI apps (web or client), can back up the original files, and can capture the screen at the upload moment, providing direct visual evidence for review.

Focused auditing for sensitive files

You can limit logging to sensitive-file uploads only (non-sensitive uploads are not logged). The system also supports instant screen capture at the moment a sensitive file is uploaded, supplying intuitive evidence for examination.

Option 4: Precise upload control—ban unauthorized file transfers

Best for: High-security environments that allow only text interactions with AI and ban any internal file uploads.

Web AI upload control

Use fine-grained Web Access Control to prohibit browser-based uploads of company files to AI platforms—reducing leakage and misuse risk.

Client AI upload control

Allow text input in client-side AI apps for search or generation, but block file uploads to client AI tools to prevent confidential files from reaching public services.

Option 5: AI allow/deny lists to restrict unauthorized AI usage

Best for: High-security environments that must strictly limit which AI tools can be used.

Disable Web AI

With a continuously updated AI website library, apply Web Access Control allow/deny lists to block unapproved AI sites—fully preventing uncontrolled uploads. If a user has a justified need, grant access to approved sites only for controlled use.

Disable Client AI

As client-side AI proliferates, pair Application Control with IT Asset Management to block unapproved client AI tools. Regularly review installed-software inventories; for non-compliant AI apps, enforce block or uninstall via policy.

Why AnySecura: Balanced Security And Efficiency, Simplified Operations
