SaaS governance is improving, but AI presents new challenges

SaaS governance is improving, but AI presents new challenges

Despite hitting a high in 2022, apps identified as “shadow IT” dropped from 53% to 48% in 2023. This drop signals an increase in SaaS governance actions: we’re getting better within enterprises at knowing what apps employees are using, and better at enforcing policies around SaaS use. Anecdotally, I’m seeing that the creation of SaaS governance councils is becoming the norm; businesses are responding to a need for repeatable processes that allow teams to cross-functionally…

Liars in the wires: Getting the most from GenAI without getting duped

Liars in the wires: Getting the most from GenAI without getting duped

Before, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) required programming languages. Now, simple text interfaces enable everyone to interact with powerful models that are seemingly limitless. A University of California, San Diego study found that GPT4 has passed the TuringTest, with 54% of participants mistaking GPT4s responses as coming from a human. Many of the latest AI enabled tools can make you feel like you’ve mastered new subjects far and wide, unlocking vast riches and…

4 steps organizations can take to get started with AI-powered SecOps

4 steps organizations can take to get started with AI-powered SecOps

Cybersecurity is under siege. While 74% of security leaders recognize the growing threat of AI-powered cyberattacks, only 40% feel confident in their ability to defend against them. The latest AI tools are making highly personalized phishing attacks and the ability to change the signatures and hashes associated with malware files easier than before. Not to mention, methods to identify exactly when and where AI is being applied are scarce. This leaves CISOs racing against the…
