Among groups that lost data, 16% said DLP blocked the worst case first; 73% reported a confirmed incident in 24 months.

A Cloud Security Alliance survey, done with Jazz and reported as DLP in the AI Era, finds data loss prevention tools often act as after-the-fact forensics. Of respondents who experienced data loss, only 16% said DLP blocked their most significant incident before data left. CSA said 73% of organizations reported at least one confirmed data loss incident in the past 24 months, and GenAI channels are exposing gaps in legacy DLP.

Unconfirmed: Figures are self-reported survey responses, and the excerpt cuts off before the full findings.

Key facts
  • 48% ranked GenAI as the top exfiltration risk.
  • Only 29% can produce a routine 30-day report of sensitive data sent to GenAI tools.
  • Cloud storage uploads were a top risk for 41% of respondents.
  • The text says only 22% apply the strictest enforcement to those highest-ranked risks.
