Why Blocking ChatGPT Will Get You Fired
The CISO's Guide to Enabling AI Without Losing Control
"Prohibition didn't work for alcohol. It won't work for AI."
The Prohibition Problem
In 2024, 78% of enterprises attempted to block ChatGPT. By 2025, 94% of those same enterprises had employees actively circumventing the blocks.
The pattern is predictable:
1. Security blocks ChatGPT on corporate network
2. Employees use personal phones on cellular data
3. Employees use personal laptops on home WiFi
4. Shadow AI usage explodes—now with ZERO visibility
You haven't reduced risk. You've eliminated your ability to manage it.
The Talent Exodus
Your best engineers are getting job offers every week. When they interview, the first question they ask: "Can I use AI coding tools?"
Companies that block AI tools are seeing:
• 34% longer time-to-fill for engineering roles
• 23% higher turnover among senior developers
• 2.3x more declined offers citing "outdated tooling"
The message is clear: Block AI and lose your best people to competitors who don't.
