Episode 91: AI Integrations – The Good, the Dangerous, and the Necessary

In this episode of Unhacked, we continue our AI series by diving into real-world AI integrations that can transform your business—and the security risks that come with them.

What You'll Learn:

  • How Brian connected Claude to QuickBooks for financial insights (and what data it can actually see)
  • The critical difference between read-only vs. read-write AI access
  • Why you NEED a human in the loop when using AI integrations
  • Mario's golden rule: If you're not using it, disconnect it
  • Brian's warning: Your employees are probably already using personal AI with company data (Shadow IT is real)
  • Why endpoint security matters MORE than ever when AI has access to your systems

The Hard Truth: AI integrations are like pouring gasoline on a haystack—just make sure the match isn't three inches away.
