Your employees are already using AI at work.
The real question is: do you know how—or what it’s exposing?
AI tools are being used every day to write emails, analyze data, create marketing content, and solve problems faster. But for many small businesses, those same tools are quietly putting sensitive information at risk—often without anyone realizing it. Join us for a practical, eye-opening conversation about the AI risks hiding in everyday business tasks—and how to address them without panic, fear tactics, or technical overload.
What You'll Learn:
-How everyday AI tools can quietly expose sensitive business information
-Why AI is creating a new kind of insider risk—often unintentionally
-The most common ways small businesses are unknowingly opening the door to data loss
-Real-world stories of businesses that didn’t realize there was a problem until it was too late
-Simple, realistic steps you can take in the next 30–90 days to reduce your risk
