Minisode: Who Owns AI in the Enterprise?
AI adoption is moving faster than most security strategies can keep up, and many teams are still treating it like a contained tool instead of a shared risk.
On this minisode of Ctrl + Alt + AI, host Dimitri Sirota brings together key insights from past conversations with Trevor Hughes (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtrevorhughes/), President of the IAPP (https://iapp.org/about); Heather Ceylan (http://linkedin.com/in/heatherceylan), SVP & Chief Information Security Officer at Box (http://www.box.com); and Aqsa Taylor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/aqsa-taylor/), Chief Security Evangelist at Exaforce (https://www.linkedin.com/company/exaforce/), to break down what leaders are consistently getting wrong about AI risk. Drawing from discussions with security and data experts, Dimitri connects the dots across identity, access, and data exposure to show how AI is quietly expanding the attack surface.
This short-form episode focuses on the patterns emerging across organizations, from unseen AI usage to gaps in data control, and what that means for security teams trying to respond in real time.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why AI adoption is happening without centralized visibility
How data exposure increases once it enters AI systems
Why traditional security timelines no longer match AI-driven risk
Things to listen for:
(00:00) Why AI risk is often underestimated
(00:45) AI adoption without visibility across teams
(01:30) The shift from tools to shared risk
(02:20) How AI expands access to sensitive data
(03:40) Why response time is now a critical gap

[…] So what's your sense of that? yeah i i think it varies by by company sort of size shape and maturity levels i think larger incumbents that has much larger you know engineering workforce that is going to have to adapt to a lot of the change like you want all of it right like i i need a strategy that incorporates the use of llms and Also, I want to make my developers more productive. And so I want to use the GPTs and, you know, and hopefully I've been using machine learning and a number of things. I've got some, you know, competencies kind of in places. […]
