Generative AI is being adopted faster than almost any technology in recent history. The productivity upside is massive—but so are the security implications. As companies rush to integrate AI into everyday workflows, many are discovering that the biggest risks aren’t always technical—they’re human.
In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan sits down with Nicole Jiang, co-founder and CEO of Fable Security, to unpack how organizations can embrace AI while protecting sensitive data and minimizing human-driven security risks. Nicole explains why AI adoption is creating a divide between companies moving quickly and those falling behind, and why security strategies must evolve just as fast.
They also explore how human behavior often becomes the weakest link in cybersecurity—from employees unintentionally sharing sensitive information with AI tools to organizations failing to clean up messy data systems before adopting new technologies.
Nicole shares how companies can rethink security training, why traditional cybersecurity tools miss the human layer, and simple steps individuals can take to practice better AI hygiene in their daily work.
