Security pros reckon the biggest AI risk comes with an employee badge
A survey of 209 security professionals by O'Reilly in September found that employees inadvertently sharing company data with artificial intelligence (AI) tools represents the top concern, outweighing fears of AI-powered attacks. AI-generated phishing ranked as a concern for only about one-quarter of respondents, suggesting practitioners focus more on insider data exposure than on weaponized AI threats.
Why it matters: Security teams must prioritize data loss prevention and employee training around AI tool usage, as unauthorized data sharing poses a more immediate and prevalent risk than AI-driven attacks in current operations.
