The National CERT has issued an advisory warning organisations about the growing cybersecurity and data-governance risks associated with the uncontrolled use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools. The advisory, titled "Safe and Secure Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Tools and Platforms," highlights the risks posed by the rapid adoption of public AI chatbots, coding assistants, browser extensions, AI-enabled applications, and third-party AI services.
These risks include the unauthorised leakage of sensitive information, intellectual property, credentials, source code, and other organisational data. The CERT advises organisations to establish and enforce a mandatory Generative AI Acceptable Use Policy, restricting the use of AI tools to approved applications and requiring strict data handling, access, accountability, and oversight measures.
