Linked – AI Cloud Adoption Is Rife With Cyber Mistakes

This doesn’t sound good:

Research finds that organizations are granting root access by default and making other big missteps, including a Jenga-like building concept, in deploying and configuring AI services in cloud deployments.

I also understand why this happens, though. Even out-of-the-box AI tools like Copilot or ChatGPT require some level of data access and security. That’s a complicated task that, in normal times, would require a months-long project, at minimum.

Custom AI projects that require sharing data across your environment and allowing the model access to all that data in a way that shuts everyone up about what they can’t do with AI will lead to mistakes. We’re seeing them, just like when people rush other IT projects under fire to implement technology they don’t have time to understand.

Who wants to wait months to start using AI? Who cares if no one on your IT team has used AI for over a few weeks?

After all, I’m sure whatever data security and information governance policies you had in place before AI will be acceptable, right?

Now we see how acceptable they were; “acceptable” isn’t the word I’d use to describe it.
