AI Chatbots in the workplace

AI chatbot security FAQ

What are the main security risks of AI chatbots?

AI chatbots can expose organisations to risks such as sensitive data leakage, inaccurate responses, prompt injection attacks, impersonation, phishing, and misuse of confidential business information. Without clear controls, employees may share data with tools that are not approved or properly secured.

What is prompt injection?

Prompt injection is a technique where attackers manipulate an AI chatbot by entering instructions designed to override its normal rules. This can cause the chatbot to reveal restricted information, ignore security controls, generate harmful content, or perform actions it should not.

How can organisations use AI chatbots safely?

Organisations should create clear AI chatbot policies, limit what data can be entered, use approved tools only, apply access controls, monitor chatbot activity, and train employees to recognise risks. Human oversight is also essential, especially when chatbots are used for customer support, decision-making, or handling sensitive information.
