Navigating the Risks of AI and Unstructured Data Management

As enterprises double down on generative AI initiatives, the intersection of data security, privacy, and unstructured data is quickly becoming mission-critical. In this episode, Dimitri Sirota, Co-founder and CEO of BigID, joins the podcast to explore how AI transformation is reshaping enterprise data governance, security, and compliance—and why understanding your “crown jewel” data is essential to building trustworthy AI systems. Dimitri outlines the three major forces driving today’s enterprise data challenges: accelerated cloud migration, a rising tide of global data privacy regulations, and the explosion of generative AI tools that rely on sensitive, unstructured data. He explains how enterprises can gain visibility into their AI programs and the data fueling them, mitigate shadow AI risks, and prepare for the next wave of agentic systems by adopting zero-trust models and real-time monitoring strategies.
