Your employees might be the biggest cybersecurity risk in your business – and not just because they’re prone to click phishing e-mails or reuse passwords. It’s because they’re using apps your IT team doesn’t even know about.

This is called Shadow IT, and it’s one of the fastest-growing security risks for businesses today.

If I asked you to name the biggest cybersecurity threats in your office, you’d probably say phishing e-mails, malware or weak passwords.

Phishing is the buzzword in everyone’s mouth. As the most common method of cyber-threat, it’s a way of playing on victims’ emotions to coerce them into disclosing sensitive data.

While over 90% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, that is not the only way that phishers reach out to their victims.

Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the recently released DeepSeek have revolutionized how we interact with technology, offering assistance with almost every task imaginable — from drafting e-mails and generating content to writing your grocery list while keeping it within your budget.

But as these AI-driven tools weave themselves into our daily routines, questions about data privacy and security are becoming harder to ignore. What exactly happens to the information you share with these bots, and what risks are you unwittingly exposing yourself to?
