[Tech & Data Leakage] In an Era Where Tech Leakage Shakes Industry Structures: What Should Companies Check?

Technology and data leakage can no longer be viewed merely as an internal security incident. With the spread of AI use and the strengthening of global investment and security regulations, technology leakage is being transformed into a management risk that directly affects a company's competitiveness, transaction structures, and investment valuation. Inadequate response can lead beyond the loss of technology to exclusion from supply chains and a decline in credibility. It is time to encompass the full scope of investment, contract, and personnel management to prevent technology leakage.

AI is a tool that boosts productivity, but it can also become the fastest route for data and technology leakage. As the use of generative AI becomes routine, a structure is forming in which core technologies and confidential information move beyond a company's control through mere prompt inputs. Companies with inadequate AI security may simultaneously bear not only a simple security incident but also investment, transaction, and regulatory risks. We examine AI as a management asset that must be managed within a framework of data governance and accountability.
