What the Latest AI Security Headlines Mean for Your Business

What the Latest AI Security Headlines Mean for Your Business"When your systems run smoothly, your team does too." – Josh Wilmoth

You’re Already Investing in Your IT — Let’s Make Sure It’s Working as Hard as You Are

February is here, and if you’ve been skimming the headlines like I have, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: AI is front and center, but so are the risks that come with it.

Over the past 30 days, multiple reports have warned that AI-powered agents are now embedded in business systems—and that’s making security leaders nervous. One recent study showed over 75% of security professionals are concerned about how AI tools are accessing sensitive business data, sometimes with little oversight or control.

And here’s the kicker: Most of these AI tools weren’t even deployed by IT. They were added by well-meaning employees trying to be more productive. No malice—just momentum.

Which is exactly what makes it risky.

Why It Matters to You Right Now

If your team added new tools, hired new staff, or made tech changes during your 2025 growth spurt, there’s a chance your systems aren’t fully aligned with your security strategy anymore.

This doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means you’re growing—and that’s a good thing. But growth creates complexity. And complexity without visibility creates risk.

Here’s the Big Idea for February

Your IT isn’t just infrastructure—it’s your risk guardrail and your growth engine. In 2026, every leader needs to be asking:

  • Where is AI already running in our environment?

  • Are we approving those tools or just discovering them after the fact?

  • Are our backups, permissions, and security protocols keeping pace with our growth?

If you don’t know the answers, that’s okay. That’s why we’re here.

What You Can Do This Month

  • Review your AI use: Who’s using tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, or embedded AI in business apps?

  • Validate access control: Make sure only the right people can access sensitive systems.

  • Schedule a security health check: We'll help you spot gaps before they become threats.

These aren’t massive projects. But they’re strategic moves that give you more control.
