Let’s get real.

Your clients are already using AI. They’re excited about how much more “effective” it makes them. Which means they’re doing the one thing you begged them not to do:

  • Uploading PII? Happening.
  • Copy-pasting sensitive client records into public chatbots? You bet.
  • Using free, unsecured models to handle confidential data? Every day.

And while your clients are happily feeding AI their crown jewels, hackers are doing the same thing—just in reverse.

Attackers aren’t wasting time with old-school brute force. They’re using AI to enumerate networks, scrape data, automate attacks, and scale compromises like never before.

That innocent little “business email compromise”? Yeah—now it’s an AI-powered takedown, designed to map your client’s environment, sidestep MFA, and extract the exact data they want in record time.

Welcome to the new normal.

What You Need to Do Right Now

  1. Get an Acceptable Use of AI Policy in Place
    • Your clients are already using it—whether you like it or not. If you don’t put guardrails around how, where, and why, you’ll be cleaning up the mess later. Start bringing it up in your Quarterly Security Briefings.(Looking for the easy button? It’s already built into Cyber Liability Essentials.)
  2. Lock Down Copilot
    • By default, Copilot will happily tell anyone your secrets—as long as they know how to ask. Unless you’ve tuned those settings, it’s the most eager insider threat your clients will ever hire.Want the playbook for fixing this before it bites you?

The bottom line: AI isn’t coming—it’s already inside your client environments. And without policies, controls, and hardening, you’re not looking at innovation. You’re looking at the fastest path to the next data breach.

Let’s get ahead of it.
