 \nTo: All Agency Directors  \nCC: All Agency Chief Information Officers  \nFrom: Ben Gherezgiher, Chief Information Security Officer  \nDate: February 12, 2025  \nSubject: Blocking Access to DeepSeek AI on State Resources  \nSecurity Classification: TLP Amber – Level 2 – Restricted Security Information  \nEffective immediately, all executive branch agencies must block access to DeepSeek AI across state network resources and infrastructure due to significant security and data privacy risks.  \nEnforcement Actions  \nTo implement this directive, Enterprise Information Services (EIS) will:  \n• Block the download of the DeepSeek AI application on all state-owned mobile devices.  \n• Restrict access to DeepSeek AI through multiple security points on the state network.  \n• This effort from the enterprise is complete.  \nAbout DeepSeek AI  \nDeepSeek AI is a generative artificial intelligence platform, developed in China, designed for advanced natural language processing and content generation.  \nThis decision is based on several critical security risks associated with DeepSeek AI, including extensive data collection, government access to stored data, and significant vulnerabilities that expose users to potential exploitation.  \n1. Extensive Data Collection  \nDeepSeek AI collects a significant amount of user data, including:  \n• Profile information  \n• User input  \n• Technical data from user devices, including keystroke patterns and rhythms  \n• Usage information  \n2. Data Storage and Government Access  \nAll data collected by DeepSeek AI is stored on servers hosted in the People’s Republic of China. Under Chinese law, government authorities can access this data if deemed necessary. As a result, it is reasonable to assume that any data processed by DeepSeek AI is accessible to the Chinese government.  \n3. Security Leaks  \nWithin its first week of public release, DeepSeek AI was found to have unsecured databases containing highly sensitive information, posing a significant risk of exploitation by threat actors.  \n4. Independent Security Assessments  \nMultiple independent security researchers have evaluated DeepSeek AI and found severe security weaknesses, including:  \n• Lack of basic security defenses  \n• Vulnerability to prompt injection attacks, data poisoning, and output manipulation  \nGiven these risks, agencies must comply with this directive immediately to protect state data and infrastructure. If agencies have questions regarding this requested action, please reach to the state Security Operations Center (SOC) and work with them to complete the block as needed. This will be added to the covered vendors list and enforcement will start immediately.","cbCaieLX74r3KRqw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieLX74r3KRqw","pdf",240693,"English","# Enforcement Actions\n## About DeepSeek AI\n## Security Risks Cited\n## Independent Security Assessments\n## Compliance and Escalation","[{\"question\":\"What action must agencies take regarding DeepSeek AI?\",\"answer\":\"All executive branch agencies must block access to DeepSeek AI across state network resources and infrastructure, effective immediately.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is responsible for implementing the directive?\",\"answer\":\"Enterprise Information Services (EIS) will block app downloads on state mobile devices and restrict access through multiple security points on the state network.\"},{\"question\":\"What security risks are cited to justify blocking DeepSeek AI?\",\"answer\":\"The memorandum cites extensive data collection, data storage in China with potential government access, early security leaks, and severe vulnerabilities such as prompt injection, data poisoning, and output manipulation.\"}]","MEMORANDUM - Security Blocking Directive for DeepSeek AI Access | PDF",1792700312]
