AI: From Emerging Tech to Data Leak Disaster – Why CISOs Can’t Keep Ignoring It!
The Enterprise AI and SaaS Data Security Report from LayerX reveals AI isn’t just “emerging”—it’s already a major risk for data leaks. Alarmingly, 67% of AI use is through unmanaged accounts, with copy/paste being the primary data escape route. It’s time to rethink security strategies and embrace AI as a core focus.
Hot Take:
AI isn’t just the new kid on the block; it’s the rebellious teenager sneaking out at midnight with your corporate secrets. While security teams were busy watching the front door, AI strolled in through the browser window, whistling a merry tune.
