🤖 AI is changing the way we work—but are we keeping up with the security risks?

A new Huntress report found that 43% of workers haven't received formal AI security training, while 74% wouldn't recognize a prompt injection attack.

AI can be a powerful business tool, but without the right policies and training, it can also create new security risks.

This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, make sure your team knows not just how to use AI, but how to use it securely. 🔐

It’s another reminder that “my coworker sent it” doesn’t always mean it’s safe.
