Reorient Your Thinking To Tackle AI Security Risks

Security Boulevard, Monday, February 2nd, 2026

The rise of artificial intelligence has rendered portions of your current cybersecurity playbook obsolete. Unless Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) act quickly to reorient their thinking, they may be unaware of and unprepared to face emerging AI-related threats. Learn how to secure your organization's AI usage and ensure implementation won't have negative consequences.

The Serious Security Risks Introduced by AI

AI usage is on the rise, and with it come security concerns. According to the 2025 Cyberhaven AI Adoption Risk Report, workplace AI usage increased by a magnitude of 61 from 2023 to 2025. Most of the enterprise data these tools process ends up on high or critical-risk platforms, and much of the information employees input is sensitive.

Regardless of your personal opinions on AI, it is essential to recognize that it has significant cybersecurity implications. They apply to you regardless of whether you build an internal model from the ground up, develop a lightweight agent, or source an AI-enabled tool from a third-party software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendor.
