varonis, Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

Varonis' 2025 State of Data Security Report shares findings from 1,000 real-world IT environments to uncover the dark side of the AI boom and what proactive steps orgs can take to secure critical information.

AI is everywhere. Copilots help employees boost productivity and agents provide front-line customer support. LLMs enable businesses to extract deep insights from their data.

Once unleashed, however, AI acts like a hungry Pac-Man, scanning and analyzing all the data it can grab. If AI surfaces critical data where it doesn't belong, it's game over. Data can't be unbreached.

And AI isn't alone - sprawling cloud complexities, unsanctioned apps, missing MFA, and more risks are creating a ticking time bomb for enterprise data. Organizations that lack proper data security measures risk a catastrophic breach of their sensitive information.

To quantify AI's impact on data risk, Varonis produced the 2025 State of Data Security Report: Quantifying AI's Impact on Data Risk. Download the full report and continue reading to learn about the latest risks to data in 2025.
