##### Annual Report

 The LayerX Enterprise AI & SaaS Data Security Report 2025

# Most security stacks cannot see what happens inside AI tools. Learn how to evaluate AI usage control solutions based on real enterprise risk.

# Why This Report Matters To You?

AI and SaaS have become the backbone of enterprise productivity, but also the primary vectors for uncontrolled data movement. Traditional file-based DLP solutions miss where the real risk lies today: GenAI tools, unmanaged accounts, and file-less transfers.  
This report, based on real enterprise browsing telemetry, reveals **how sensitive data truly flows through AI and SaaS apps** and why common security assumptions no longer hold.

**Key Findings You’ll Discover**

- **AI has already overtaken SaaS as the #1 exfiltration channel.** Nearly half of employees use GenAI tools, and 40% of file uploads include PII or PCI data.
- **Copy/paste is the new blind spot.** 77% of employees paste data into GenAI prompts, 82% of which come from unmanaged accounts, outside any enterprise oversight.
- **Corporate logins ≠ secure logins.** Even “official” access to CRM and ERP is riddled with non-SSO logins, making corporate credentials no safer than personal ones.
- **Chat and IM apps are invisible risks.** 87% of activity flows through unmanaged accounts, with 62% of users pasting sensitive data directly into chat.
