Data leakage
Sensitive information reaching an unauthorised model, user or output.
Definition
Data leakage may occur through prompts, retrieval, logs, memory, training reuse, tool calls or generated responses.
Why it matters
Banking systems handle confidential client, employee and market-sensitive data, so leakage controls must span the full architecture.
