The rapid integration of AI and GenAI technologies creates a complex mix of challenges and opportunities for organizations.
The most urgent security risks for GenAI users are all data-related.

41% say GenAI has the most potential to address cyber alert fatigue.
92% of security pros have security concerns around generative AI, with specific apprehensions including employees entering sensitive company data into an AI tool, using AI systems trained with incorrect or malicious data, and falling for AI-enhanced phishing attempts.
As today's risks are increasingly driven by AI and GenAI, the way employees work, and the proliferation of cloud applications, respondents state they need more visibility into source code sent to repositories, files sent to personal cloud accounts, and customer relationship management system data downloads.
