What are the current data security challenges organizations face?
Organizations are facing an average of 156 data security incidents each year, with the severity of these incidents increasing. The rapid adoption of AI tools has introduced new risks, as unauthorized use of these tools is prevalent, with 65% of organizations reporting employees using unauthorized AI applications. This situation highlights the need for more robust visibility and protection controls to safeguard sensitive data.
How is AI impacting data security strategies?
AI is reshaping data security strategies by providing tools that can identify hidden risks and enhance detection and response capabilities. Organizations are increasingly investing in AI-powered data security solutions, with many recognizing AI's potential to improve incident response times and overall security posture. However, there is also a need to manage the risks introduced by AI, as 31% of organizations anticipate an increase in data security incidents due to employee use of AI.
What measures are organizations taking to secure AI usage?
Organizations are actively developing and implementing controls around AI usage, with 93% at some stage of this process. Key measures include preventing sensitive data from being uploaded to AI applications, logging activities for potential investigations, and training employees on secure AI practices. Despite these efforts, only 39% have fully implemented data security controls for AI, indicating a need for more comprehensive strategies.
