Richard Stiennon on AI Risk:Why Enterprises Must Redefine Browser Security

“The intelligence explosion will be a boon to cyber defenders, but it will also be a boon to cyber attackers.” by Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst, IT-Harvest

As generative AI tools proliferate across the enterprise, the browser has become a high-risk zone for data leakage and unmanaged AI usage. Cybersecurity expert Richard Stiennon warns that traditional controls can’t protect what happens inside the browser. Mammoth Cyber’s Enterprise Browser offers LLM access control, real-time DLP, and zero trust enforcement to secure AI interactions at the source.

The enterprise perimeter has shifted—again.

This time, it’s not just cloud or mobile reshaping the risk landscape. It’s generative AI.

Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and hundreds of embedded LLM features are showing up in the enterprise stack at an unprecedented rate. From sales to engineering, employees are experimenting with AI to draft content, write code, generate insights, and speed up research.

But according to cybersecurity veteran Richard Stiennon, this wave of innovation is masking a new set of threats:

“The rapid adoption of AI applications is outpacing enterprise controls. We’re seeing sensitive data move into browsers without any oversight. Security teams don’t know what’s being shared—or where it’s going.”

AI in the Browser: The New Shadow IT

The browser is now the most commonly used AI access point. But most enterprises treat it like a utility, not a high-risk zone.

What happens when:

  • A developer pastes internal logs into ChatGPT
  • A product manager uploads pricing data into Gemini
  • A contractor accesses GenAI tools with customer records still in clipboard memory


Security has no visibility or control over any of it.

And traditional endpoint or network tools can’t help. These interactions happen in encrypted, dynamic browser sessions—often on personal devices or unmanaged endpoints.

The Challenge: AI Tools Introduce New, Invisible Risks

CISOs and security leaders now face a familiar but intensified problem:

How do you enforce data loss prevention, zero trust access, and governance—when the browser is the new interface for AI-driven work?

The AI threat isn’t just about malicious actors. It’s about accidental over-disclosure, data classification mismatches, and AI models storing context-sensitive information that users thought was “just temporary.”

The Enterprise Browser Advantage: Security Built Where Work Happens

This is where the Enterprise Browser comes in—not as an extension or add-on, but as a foundational security platform built at the point of interaction.

Here’s how Mammoth Cyber’s Enterprise Browser solves the AI application risk:

LLM Access Control and AI Tool Governance

Gain visibility and apply policies for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other generative AI tools—before data leaves the organization.

Real-Time Data Loss Prevention

Stop users from pasting sensitive data into AI interfaces with contextual awareness at the browser layer.

BYOD and Third-Party Control

Secure sessions for contractors, remote employees, and BYOD users—without deploying agents. Enforce policy even when the endpoint isn’t yours.

Session Recording and Behavioral Forensics

Track AI tool interactions, flag anomalies, and retain records for compliance or incident investigation.

SaaS Access Security

Wrap browser-level protection around Salesforce, Workday, Atlassian, or any business-critical app—ensuring AI tools don’t become a bridge to these assets.

This Isn’t a Future Problem. It’s Already Here.

AI has already entered your enterprise—and with it, new attack surfaces that are:

  • Invisible to firewalls
  • Outside the reach of endpoint DLP
  • Operating on unmanaged personal devices


As Richard Stiennon warns, “If you’re not securing what happens in the browser, you’re not securing your business.”

Get Ahead of the Risk

Whether you’re a CISO, security architect, or IT leader navigating the surge of AI usage in your workforce, now is the time to rethink how you manage the modern workspace.
