Secure AI and Automation for Small Businesses with Chase Carlton of Fenix Cyber
In this episode, Chase Carlton, CEO and founder of Fenix Cyber (https://fenixcyber.com (https://fenixcyber.com/)), explains how small businesses and nonprofits can tighten up their cybersecurity and use AI and automation without losing control of their data. Learn why Chase recommends mapping your workflows first, building inside the platform you already pay for, and keeping a human in the loop on every critical process.
Takeaways
Keep humans in the loop on any AI-driven process.
Map your workflow first, then automate it with low-code tools like Power Automate, Zapier, or n8n, and call AI only for the steps that need it.
Building inside the platform you already use (often Microsoft 365) keeps AI behind the logins and permissions you already have.
Structured workflows are cheaper to run, easier to audit, and easier to fix than handing a whole process to an AI agent.
Approval workflows like time-off and travel requests are some of the easiest processes to automate first.
Knowing your security posture can be uncomfortable, and it beats not knowing.
