Cybersecurity Awareness Month Is For Security Leaders, Too

Security Boulevard, Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025

Think you know all there is to know about cybersecurity? Guess again. Shadow AI is challenging security leaders with many of the same issues raised by other 'shadow' technologies. Only this time, it's evolving at breakneck speed.

Key takeaways:

1. The vast majority of organizations (89%) are either using AI or piloting it.

2. Shadow AI lurks beyond these sanctioned deployments - and beyond the view of security teams.

3. Exposure management gives you a unified view of the entire attack surface, so you can find and mitigate AI risks across endpoints, networks, cloud, data, and AI platforms.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month, led every October by the U.S. National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is aimed at teaching employees and the general public how to stay safe online.
