Understanding the High-risk AI tools in use risk
BarracudaONE displays this risk when it detects that one or more AI applications classified as high risk are being accessed within your environment.
High-risk AI tools can amplify errors and attacks, mishandle highly sensitive information, and operate in ways that can directly affect people’s safety or major outcomes. Failures while using these applications are harder to detect, control, and defend against.
Why this a risk
High-risk AI applications may expose sensitive data to exploits. Relying on manual policies instead of automated enforcement lags behind real-world use, so by the time you realize that a high-risk application has compromised your users' data, it may be too late.
Identifying this risk
To help you identify the tools affected, BarracudaONE displays:
The AI applications accessed
The level of risk
The number of times each application has been accessed
Resolving this risk
Resolving this risk involves enabling Barracuda SecureEdge to automatically implement and enforce automated AI application control in real time.
To resolve the High-risk AI tools in use risk
In the left navigation menu, select Home
.
In the Start mitigating risks section, do one of the following:
Select the High-risk AI tools in use risk.
Select another risk, then use the arrows to navigate to the High-risk AI tools in use risk.
Do one of the following:
If Cisco Umbrella is your discovery source, enable enforcement with SecureEdge.
If SecureEdge is your discovery source, resolve the issue in SecureEdge.
When this criteria is met, the risk auto-resolves.
Once you have resolved this risk
Once you put a tool in place to view AI tool usage in real time and set up advanced block and allow policies to secure your environment, you can regulate and ensure AI is used in a way that is:
Safe - Doesn’t cause harm through errors or unsafe outputs
Secure - Doesn’t expose or leak sensitive data, or get exploited
Accountable - Ensures traceability for decisions and failures
Compliant - Meets privacy, security, and sector-specific rules
Reliable - Measures, documents, and continuously improves performance
