flag AI adoption rises globally, but weak governance risks data security.

flag Generative AI adoption is surging in South Africa and globally, with 67% of companies using it—up from 45% in 2024—yet only 14% have formal AI strategies, and 32% use tools unofficially, creating security risks like data leakage and model manipulation. flag Cybersecurity experts warn that AI agents, which can scale rapidly and operate non-deterministically, lack proper identity management and oversight, with only 10% of organizations having governance frameworks. flag This shift is moving cyber risks from infrastructure to the data layer, challenging traditional security models. flag Firms like Check Point and Okta are promoting secure AI practices, including identity controls, just-in-time access, and governance frameworks aligned with regulations like the EU AI Act. flag MSPs face growing accountability as AI-driven workflows bypass standard defenses, requiring stronger data governance, staff training, and advisory roles to manage evolving threats.
