We’re hearing from more organisations that their teams are using AI tools on their own, and this is raising security red flags.

Securing Shadow AI is now firmly on the radar. At a high level, there are three main approaches organisations can take:

1. Run your own private LLM
2. Leverage a public LLM secured by endpoint protection and AI detection & response
3. Use an Enterprise AI Access Layer

Each path has its trade-offs, and the right choice depends on your AI maturity, security posture, and risk appetite. It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

If Shadow AI is keeping you up at night, let’s have a chat about how to regain control, enable innovation and keep your organisation safe.

When it comes to cyber security, one size does not fit all.

Organisations have different priorities, environments and assets they need to protect, and more importantly, different things attackers want to steal.

Now, AI is adding another layer to that complexity. AI assistants, agents and automation are creating new identities, new access pathways and new ways for sensitive data to move across the business. The attack surface is changing, and security needs to change with it.

Implementing an out-of-the-box solution without understanding your real threat landscape can result in alert fatigue or, worse, fail to detect an attack at all.

Skillfield works with customers to understand their environment, priorities and emerging AI risks, then designs and customises cyber security solutions that are fit for purpose.

What if the biggest AI security risk isn't the AI?

In our latest blog we look beyond the model at what organisations really need to secure as AI becomes part of everyday business.

Secure AI adoption goes beyond protecting the model. Learn how to secure data, workflows, agents, access, connectors and AI-driven actions.

will not fix your data problems. It will scale them.

Data has always needed to be accurate, complete, consistent, timely and free from duplication. There is nothing new in that.

What is new is the consequence!

AI can take data quality problems that once sat quietly in a database and scale them into every answer, every summary and every automated decision.

In our latest blog, we look at what it really means for data to be AI-ready, and the five questions organisations should be asking.

Plenty of experimentation. Plenty of enthusiasm. But without a clear strategy, all that activity can add up to very little impact.

In the fourth article in our AI Adoption series, we share a practical guide for developing an AI strategy grounded in the business, not the technology.
