What You Do Next Matters

✓You’ve been meaning to revisit AI security, but other fires keep taking priority. Between growth, staffing, and daily operations, it’s hard to make space for it. You know AI and data security matter, yet it hasn’t felt urgent. What if we're already exposed and don't even know it?

✓Your technology provider set up the firewall, installed EDR, and monitors DNS. Yet headlines about rogue AI agents, hallucinations, shadow AI, and deepfakes keep coming. Are you protected, or just lucky?

✓You’ve invested in tools, but people and now AI agents remain the weak link. Credential reuse was already a problem, and now those same credentials are in the hands of AI agents. You are worried it's only a matter of time before there is a significant incident as a result.

✓You don’t need to be technical to know AI risks are real. The challenge isn’t just the tech, it’s legal, procurement, compliance, and protecting the systems and people your business depends on.

✓AI is evolving at a breakneck pace, bringing confusion, chaos, and new risks. Combined with the vulnerabilities you saw firsthand in a previous breach or incident, it’s clear you can’t afford a repeat. You promised yourself it won’t happen again, and now is the time to make sure of it.
