12 Jun State of Data Security Report 2025
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jun. 12, 2025
AI is everywhere. Copilots help employees boost productivity and agents provide front-line customer support. LLMs enable businesses to extract deep insights from their data.
Once unleashed, however, AI acts like a hungry Pac-Man, scanning and analyzing all the data it can grab. If AI surfaces critical data where it doesn’t belong, it’s game over. Data can’t be un-breached.
To understand how AI impacts data security, Varonis examined the blast radius of 1,000 organizations — real data from real companies, not surveys.
The State of Data Security 2025 report from Varonis quantifies AI’s impact on data risk. Mike Thompson, Director, Cloud and Security Architecture at Varonis, recently came on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast to discuss the report and findings.
