Are AI Features In Your Apps Putting Your Business At Risk? (2025/683)

AI features are being quietly switched on inside the tools you already use for business - and most owners have no idea.

From Microsoft Copilot to Google Gemini and Zoom AI Companion, these features are enabled by default, accessing your emails, documents and meetings without you making a conscious decision about it.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why tech companies enable AI features by default - and what that means for your data
✅ How AI tools expand your attack surface by accessing emails, calls and documents
✅ The hidden risk of shadow AI - employees using AI tools the business does not know about
✅ A step-by-step approach to auditing your apps, phone permissions and privacy settings
✅ Why default AI privacy settings are not configured with your security as the priority

Make this a regular check - at least once a quarter - because settings can reset with every update.
