Out From the Shadows: A GovLoop Interview with BlackFog on Unapproved AI Risks
Our CEO Darren Williams recently joined Candace Thorson from GovLoop to discuss one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today: protecting sensitive data from unapproved AI tools and Shadow AI.
As generative AI adoption accelerates across the workplace, many organizations are losing visibility into how employees interact with external AI platforms, creating new risks around sensitive data exposure, compliance, and data exfiltration.
In this interview, we explore:
- The rise of Shadow AI in enterprise environments
- Why data exfiltration is becoming a major cyber risk
- The limitations of detection-only security strategies
- Why prevention-first cybersecurity is critical in today’s AI driven landscape
