Measure Your Security Program Impact with Enhanced Risk Reporting

July 31, 2024

Harmonic’s new Insights reporting dashboard helps to shine a light on the metrics that matter.

Failures of Existing Metrics

Most security teams want to stop sensitive data from getting into GenAI (or GenAI-enabled) tools. 

But how do they track success? There are a few approaches to this, but all of them fall short;

  • # of blocked GenAI apps. 
    • Employees circumvent controls by using personal devices or different networks to access the tools. 
  • # of sensitive data blocked. 
    • Employees are less willing to use GenAI tools freely, and the business fails to reap the benefits of their investments.
  • % completion of security awareness courses. 
    • Security awareness training and policies are often treated as a mere formality, with employees paying little attention to the content.

All of these are about blocking the user and preventing them from doing something and fail to show the security team is helping to enable the business.

Introducing Harmonic’s New Dashboard

Our latest update provides unprecedented visibility into your data protection landscape empowering you to demonstrate the impact of security initiatives for adopting GenAI.

1. Data Protection Summary

With the “Data Protection Summary” reporting component, you can track how sensitive data exposures are decreasing, while GenAI adoption is simultaneously increasing. This will enable you to show how the security program is enabling innovation within the business without compromising sensitive data.

In purple, you can see how many prompts with sensitive data were submitted, and in green, you can see how many employees removed sensitive data due to Harmonic interventions

2. Data Protection Breakdown

Most GenAI tools do not have sufficient logs, which can leave security teams blind to their use and associated risks. 

In the “Data Protection Breakdown” component, you can quickly visualize how often employees are using GenAI tools, as well as how much of this is sensitive.  

The funnel has five layers:

  1. Prompts: The total number of prompts submitted by all employees
  2. Sensitive Data Detections: The total number of prompts that contained sensitive data  
  3. Harmonic Interventions: The number of intervention modals displayed to employees
  4. Employee Resolutions: The number of prompts addressed by employees to remove sensitive data
  5. Sensitive Data Exposures: The number of prompts submitted with sensitive data

3. Top Applications

Identify critical areas of focus by ranking applications and employees by data detection to data exposure risk. At the bottom of the page is the Top Applications by Detections component. 

Here you can see the top apps associated with data exposure. Each app card profiles a snapshot of the number of sensitive data detections, the number of exposures, and trends over time. Furthermore, we will include if the application trains on your data.

Summary

With the new comprehensive Insights reporting, Harmonic will empower your organization to protect sensitive data while fostering a culture of innovation.
