Quantifying AI’s impact on data risk
2025 State of Data Security Report
AI is everywhere. Copilots help employees boost productivity and agents provide front-line customer support. LLMs enable businesses to extract deep insights from their data.
Once unleashed, however, AI acts like a hungry Pac-Man, scanning and analyzing all the data it can grab. If AI surfaces critical data where it doesn’t belong, it’s game over. Data can’t be un-breached.
To understand how AI impacts data security, Varonis examined the blast radius of 1,000 organizations — real data from real companies, not surveys.
