By
Steve Moros
Summary
AI has moved from experimental to operational in Australian enterprises, now handling tasks like drafting emails, summarising meetings, and supporting customer interactions autonomously. While this delivers competitive advantages, it also rapidly expands the attack surface. Security teams lack visibility into shadow AI tools, agentic access, and rising incidents. The article argues that security should accelerate AI adoption rather than slow it down, but organisations must urgently improve governance and visibility to match the pace of AI deployment.
