Do you ever feel imposter syndrome? No matter what level you’re at, imposter syndrome can still creep in. Sarah Knapp (VP of Software Development) and Paul Farnsworth (CTO) talk about ways to recognize it—and emphasize that: it's okay; a lot of us feel this way. #ImposterSyndrome #MentalHealth #SelfConfidence

Amid generative AI’s potential is a lurking security problem that experts have now dubbed “shadow AI,” akin to previous cybersecurity issues associated with new technologies that begin creeping into enterprise networks and infrastructure. Previously, “shadow IT” and “shadow cloud” caused headaches for tech professionals trying to secure corporate data from escaping when businesses or employees experimented with unsanctioned and untested versions of new tools. The Cyberhaven report found that 73.8% of ChatGPT accounts currently deployed are non-corporate instances that lack the security and privacy controls of ChatGPT Enterprise. That percentage is higher for Google AI tools. The survey also noted: “In March 2024, 27.4 percent of corporate data employees put into AI tools was sensitive.” At the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco, CISOs and other cybersecurity leaders expressed concern that the same risks associated with shadow IT and cloud are re-manifesting themselves with generative AI. “Every few years, some hot new trend upends the tech stack and how we go about securing sensitive data and assets. Metaphorically, the livestock has escaped the barn, then the barn was burned down, and now the morning after we have to contend with untamable organic free-range IT,” noted John Bambenek, president at Bambenek Consulting, LTD. For tech and security professionals charged with helping to bring generative AI into the enterprise, securing it, protecting data and creating policies, understanding shadow AI and its consequences is critical to developing new skills as the enterprise landscape changes to accommodate these modern tools and platforms.
