AI Security Webinar: 2026 AI Adoption & Risk Report Insights

AI adoption in the enterprise is accelerating at a pace few security teams can fully keep up with. While organizations race to embed AI into core workflows, the realities of AI governance, data exposure, and risk management are often trailing far behind. To help security leaders understand this evolving landscape, Cyberhaven is hosting an exclusive webinar: "Navigating Security for AI: The View from the Front Lines."

DSPM for the Modern Enterprise: One Unified View of Data Risk Everywhere

Security teams today aren't struggling with a lack of data, they're struggling with a lack of clarity. Sensitive data now lives and moves across endpoints, SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems. Understanding where that data is, how it's used, and when it becomes risky has never been more important — or more difficult.

The Biggest Insider Risk Gaps You Probably Haven’t Thought About

When most security teams think about insider risk, they immediately picture the malicious actor: the disgruntled employee downloading a customer list before quitting, or the rogue developer leaking source code to a competitor. Those scenarios are real and dangerous, but while malicious insider activity gets the most attention, the greater and more persistent risk comes from well-intentioned employees whose routine actions and blind spots accidentally put sensitive data at risk — often without anyone realizing it.

IRM in the Real World: Why Culture Is Just as Important as Controls

In security, we love to talk about tools. Detection engines, behavioral analytics, identity governance platforms, and data classification tags. We invest millions in building systems that can track, monitor, and block unauthorized activity. And when it comes to insider risk, many organizations respond by doubling down on controls implementing tighter access permissions, more restrictive policies and stricter monitoring.

The ROI of Modern DLP Solutions: Why It’s Worth the Investment

Every security leader is tasked with a difficult balancing act: reducing risk while controlling cost. Cybersecurity budgets aren’t unlimited, and executive teams demand clear justification for every new tool. Data loss prevention (DLP) has often struggled to prove its value in this context. Traditional solutions were expensive to deploy, noisy in practice, and often delivered more frustration than measurable protection.

Anatomy of an Insider Threat Investigation: From Alert to Remediation

It usually begins with something small. A flagged data transfer, an alert from your insider risk platform, or even a report from IT that a departing employee downloaded a large number of files. The signs can be subtle, often buried in the noise of daily digital activity. But make no mistake – what happens in the next few hours determines whether this becomes a minor blip or a full-blown cybersecurity crisis.

From Compliance to Cyber Resilience: The Real-World Benefits of DLP

For many organizations, data loss prevention (DLP) has historically been viewed through the narrow lens of compliance. Regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR forced companies to prove they had controls in place to protect sensitive information. DLP was the obvious answer—a way to prevent credit card numbers, Social Security information, or personal health data from leaving the organization in unauthorized ways. In that framing, DLP was deployed to satisfy audits, not reduce risk.

Is Your Organization DLP-Mature? Here’s How to Find Out

Every organization knows that protecting sensitive data is important. But knowing you should protect data and actually having the people, processes, and technology in place to do it well are two very different things. Too often, data protection programs evolve reactively—driven by the latest regulatory deadline or the aftermath of a near-miss incident. The result is a patchwork of policies and tools that create a false sense of security without delivering true resilience.

How to Build an Effective Insider Risk Management Program

Insider threats have become one of the most difficult and damaging challenges in cybersecurity. Unlike external attackers, insiders already have access to sensitive data and systems. Their actions often appear legitimate until it’s too late. Whether it’s a malicious employee stealing intellectual property or a well-meaning one accidentally leaking customer information, insider incidents are complex, nuanced, and often invisible to traditional security tools.

Detecting and Stopping Data Exfiltration in Real Time

Data exfiltration is no longer limited to elite external hackers — it’s a common occurrence in everyday business operations. Employees share files externally, upload documents to personal cloud accounts, copy source code to USB drives, or paste sensitive text into browser-based AI tools. Most of the time, these actions are unintentional. But whether careless or malicious, the result is the same: data leaves the organization’s control, and the risk of IP loss, regulatory exposure, or other consequences grows.

Why Data, Not the Perimeter, Should Be the Core of Your Security Strategy

For decades, enterprise security strategy revolved around a simple assumption: if you could build a strong enough perimeter around your network, everything inside would remain safe. Firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and VPNs became the bedrock of corporate defenses. The perimeter was the castle wall, and sensitive data lived safely inside.

How Cyberhaven Uses Data Lineage to Revolutionize DLP

The concept of data loss prevention (DLP) is simple: stop sensitive information from leaving your organization through unauthorized channels. But in practice, traditional DLP solutions struggle to deliver on that promise. They rely on rigid rules, limited visibility, and a shallow understanding of how data is actually used. The result is missed threats, noisy alerts, and frustrated security teams.

From Shadow IT to Shadow Data: The New Frontier in DLP

For years, CISOs and IT leaders have been working to reign in shadow IT. While the industry has developed methods to discover and control rogue infrastructure, another elusive and dangerous threat has emerged: shadow data.

Top Ten Data Security Trends To Prepare For in 2026

The data security landscape is reaching an inflection point. In 2026, the question won't be whether your security stack can detect risks; it will be whether it can predict, prevent, and adapt to them in real time.

DLP Compliance Guide: Meeting HIPAA, GDPR, & PCI Requirements

Compliance and data protection are inseparable in today's digital-first world. With increasing regulatory scrutiny, expanding privacy laws, and growing customer expectations around data stewardship, organizations can no longer afford to treat compliance as a checkbox exercise.

How Generative AI is Changing the DLP Landscape

Generative AI has revolutionized productivity, but it has also introduced a new class of data risk that legacy DLP tools simply can’t see. From engineers pasting source code into ChatGPT to marketers rewriting strategy docs, sensitive IP is leaving the browser through "Shadow AI" channels daily. Learn why traditional pattern matching fails against LLMs and how a data lineage approach secures AI usage without halting innovation.

AI Is the Future of DLP—Here's What That Actually Means

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the defining technology of our era, transforming industries from healthcare to finance to manufacturing. In the world of cybersecurity, AI is no longer just a buzzword—it's rapidly becoming the backbone of how organizations defend themselves against threats that evolve faster than human analysts can keep up. Nowhere is this more evident than in data loss prevention (DLP).

Insider Threats in the Age of AI: What Security Teams Need to Know

Artificial intelligence has gone from buzzword to business tool almost overnight. Employees are rapidly adopting platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot to draft content, analyze data, brainstorm code, and accelerate productivity. But as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows, a new category of insider threat is emerging—one that is harder to detect, harder to classify, and potentially more damaging than anything security teams have faced before.

AI-orchestrated espionage is here. Your data controls decide what happens next.

Anthropic has just disclosed what appears to be the first fully documented case of AI-orchestrated cyber espionage. A Chinese state-backed group used Claude Code to automate most of a campaign targeting approximately 30 organizations across the tech, finance, chemicals, and government sectors. In several cases, they got in and stole sensitive data.
