AI tools are boosting workplace productivity but simultaneously expanding enterprise attack surfaces through shadow AI usage and weak data governance. Employees frequently paste sensitive data into public AI models without oversight, creating exposure risks that compound with ransomware threats targeting unstructured data. Organizations need comprehensive data-centric security foundations including visibility across storage systems, automated PII detection and tagging, granular AI usage auditing, clear policies, attack surface reduction through data archival, immutable backups, and continuous monitoring to safely adopt AI while maintaining cyber resilience.
