Episode notes
ADVICE

Automate File Inventory And Remediation

  • Discover files, index permissions, and intersect content to find sensitive data exposed externally.
  • Automate remediation or prompt owners for justification before revoking access via APIs.
INSIGHT

AI Search Amplifies Overexposed Files

  • Enterprise AI search amplifies risks from overly permissive file sharing by surfacing hidden data.
  • AI rollouts make fixing file permission sprawl urgent, not optional.
ADVICE

Choose Tools Built For Lean Teams

  • Deploy workspace security tooling aimed at teams with limited resources and configure it once for ongoing automation.
  • Treat it like EDR: integrate, tune, then rely on automated detections and remediations.
