Companies are deploying AI tools without involving security teams, letting business units skip CISO approval and proper vetting. Agentic AI introduces new vulnerabilities most organizations aren't ready for, creating opportunities for attackers.
the rapid rush to AI, whether using a third-party service, whether you're developing it yourself, whether you're creating your own apps and exposing it either to your employees, your business partners, or your customers, that rapid adoption of technology, which its value is predicated on how much access it has to your data, That rapid rush creates windows of opportunity because it introduces vulnerabilities at a rate that cybersecurity, one, we tend not to be involved early on. You get individual departments, not even the IT department. This is individual business groups going, hey, we developed this cool thing and they call up the CISO. Hey, CISO, we're deploying this new cool AI tool. We're releasing it on Monday. Can you make sure it's secure? No, I can't, right? I need to be part of the architecture discussion, the engineering and the development, the Q&A, the, the, and so we're rushing to fantastic technology, but we're not applying the necessary due diligence when it comes to security, privacy, and ethics for these. And I think especially as we go to agentic AI and embrace that, that will create windows of opportunities for attackers and vulnerabilities that we just have no concept of now until we will feel the pain.
