Attack Surface Just Got a Copilot AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can secure it — and the consequences are showing up in email inboxes, collaboration platforms, and the shadow tools employees use every day. According to Mimecast's State of Human Risk 2026, 80% of organizations are concerned about sensitive data exposure through generative AI tools, yet 60% still lack strategies to address AI-driven threats. The result is a growing gap between the security investments organizations are making and the protection they're actually getting. In this conversation, Rob Juncker will explore why human behavior has become the defining variable in enterprise cybersecurity, how shadow AI is creating new data exposure and insider risk vectors, and what it takes for security architectures to adapt in real time — without slowing down the business.
