About 75% of workers use AI in the workplace, with AI chatbots being the most common tools to complete work-related tasks. While this boosts productivity, it could expose companies to credential theft, data leaks, and infrastructure vulnerabilities, especially since only 14% of workplaces have official AI policies, contributing to untracked AI use by employees.
According to the Cybernews Business Digital Index, nearly 90% of analyzed AI tools have been exposed to data breaches, putting businesses at severe risk. Cybernews researchers analyzed 52 of the most popular AI web tools in February 2025, ranked by total monthly website visits based on Semrush traffic data.
Key analysis findings:
- Researchers’ analysis shows that 33% of the analyzed AI platforms earned an A rating, 41% received a D (high risk) or even an F (critical risk).
- Of the 52 AI tools analyzed, 84% had experienced at least one data breach.
- 36% of analyzed tools experienced a breach in just the past 30 days.
- 93% of platforms showed issues with SSL/TLS configurations, which are critical for encrypting communication between users and tools.
- System hosting vulnerabilities were another widespread concern, with 91% of platforms exhibiting flaws in their infrastructure management.
