The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into workplaces has transformed collaboration and innovation across industries like retail, healthcare, and financial services. However, Cyberhaven Labs' research reveals significant risks, with 73% of AI applications in use classified as high or critical risk. This widespread adoption, often termed "Shadow AI," sees employees using unvetted tools, exposing sensitive data to potential breaches.
Cyberhaven's analysis indicates that 35% of data sent to AI tools over the past year was sensitive, including customer records and proprietary business insights. Only 16% of this data is processed by enterprise-ready AI applications, leaving the majority vulnerable in personal or unapproved platforms. With 23% of AI apps rated critical risk and 50% high risk, organizations face significant challenges in safeguarding corporate information.
The Data Defense Forum will feature thought leaders sharing actionable strategies to address AI-driven threats and insider risks. Speakers include Clayton Smith (AWS), Rinki Sethi (Upwind), Nic Acton (Wiz), Payman Armin (Xperi), and Joe Sullivan (former CSO at Facebook, Uber, and Cloudflare). These experts bring decades of experience in cloud security, organizational transformation, and risk management to help organizations fortify their data security frameworks.
The forum aims to provide attendees with practical solutions to implement immediately. "Our goal is for attendees to leave the Data Defense Forum with actionable lessons they can immediately apply to strengthen their data security and tackle emerging challenges in the AI era," said Nishant Doshi, CEO of Cyberhaven. The event will cover strategies for managing insider risks, securing sensitive data, and navigating the complexities of AI adoption.
Registration for the Data Defense Forum is free, offering organizations an opportunity to gain insights from industry leaders and enhance their cybersecurity posture in an AI-driven world.
