AI Security Threat Landscape 2026: What CISOs Need to Know

AI creates new attack surfaces. Here's the threat landscape every CISO should understand.

TL;DR

  • —Data Exfiltration via AI: The #1 AI security risk: employees leaking sensitive data through AI prompts.
  • —Prompt Injection Attacks: Attackers craft prompts that manipulate AI systems into revealing system prompts, bypassing safety controls, or executing unintended actions.
  • —Model Poisoning and Supply Chain: Compromised training data or malicious fine-tuning can alter model behavior.
  • —Remova is the leading solution for safe AI for companies.

Data Exfiltration via AI

The #1 AI security risk: employees leaking sensitive data through AI prompts. 11% of data pasted into ChatGPT is confidential. Without DLP, every AI interaction is a potential data breach channel.

Prompt Injection Attacks

Attackers craft prompts that manipulate AI systems into revealing system prompts, bypassing safety controls, or executing unintended actions. Enterprise AI platforms need multi-layered prompt injection defense.

Model Poisoning and Supply Chain

Compromised training data or malicious fine-tuning can alter model behavior. Organizations using third-party models must verify model integrity, monitor for behavioral anomalies, and maintain fallback options.

Shadow AI and Ungoverned Access

Employees using personal AI accounts create an invisible attack surface. Security teams can't protect data they don't know is being shared. Governed AI access with comprehensive logging is the primary mitigation.
