A survey by the World Economic Forum (WEF) found that 47% of organizations cite the advancement of adversarial capabilities as their top concern surrounding generative AI. These capabilities include phishing, malware development, and deepfakes, all of which are increasingly accessible due to AI tools.

Seeing What AI Touches: Introducing Data Lens

Jan 21, 2026 By Greg Zemlin In Zenity
Security teams are entering a new phase of risk driven by the combination of AI agents and broad access to internal and external data. Agents are no longer limited to responding to prompts. They read files, pull documents from shared repositories, query external sources, and move information across systems on behalf of users. This shift brings real business value. Knowledge becomes easier to access, workflows move faster, and information that once required deliberate effort can be surfaced instantly.

As cloud applications, SaaS platforms, and GenAI tools shape most modern workflows, one physical channel presents an ongoing risk: removable media.

You may have experienced it yourself: dozens of near-identical resumes arriving within hours, or candidates who refuse to turn on their camera during video interviews.

Renting a trade show booth is an important decision for many brands. It allows companies to avoid the investment of building their own structure, yet requires confidence that the rented booth will support sales, branding and visitor engagement. In practice, organisations often share similar concerns related to flexibility, design consistency, logistical risks, cost predictability and the ability to customise the booth to their marketing goals. Modern modular solutions help eliminate these barriers already at the planning stage.
