Traditional perimeter security (DMS, DLP, firewalls) cannot follow client data when it is exported, vectorized, or ingested by LLMs. Relying on these 2015 tools creates silent, cumulative liability. The only path forward is Data-Layer Governance:  encrypting data selectively so controls travel with the file, and treating AI models as users with auditable access boundaries. This protects...

As we move fully into October and stare down the last two months of the year, we’re heading into one of the most important cybersecurity conferences of 2025 — ISC2 Security Congress . AI everywhere.
