The potential rewards of AI in your business, I think we all now realize are too great to ignore, but, the risks are there too. And it's not just through bad guys attacking you. It's also through inadvertently proprietary information. Losing sensitive data. There's, of course, the attacks against enterprise managed AI, prompt injection and things. And, honestly, generative AI increases opportunities for threat actors by helping them to, you know, write threats. We've seen that too now. They can use it to rapidly create perfect indistinguishable from the real thing, phishing lures. They use it to write malicious code. They use it to automate data extraction. And what's even more scary, they use it to do all of this at speed. Just as you are a 100 times more productive, so are they. And and the issue of leaking, proprietary information is not to be ignored. There were 1,300,000 instances of, Social Security numbers leaked to AI applications last year. Security numbers leaked to AI applications last year. And it's most of the time not through malicious acts, but simply because, people weren't paying attention. They said, oh, yeah. Let me upload the, the tax return. Forgetting that there's so much information in that tax return, which you've now given to the AI cloud. Right? Zscaler will protect you from that.
