Tony Kelly, Sales Engineering Director at Fortra, explains in SC Media’s Security Weekly podcast that AI is driving innovation while also increasing the need for strong data protection. He highlights how organizations can use Gen AI to both enable business value and enhance security, especially as identity complexity and data visibility challenges grow. His core argument is that AI can be safely adopted when data protection is embedded into strategy. This matters because organizations that secure their data can scale AI confidently while maintaining compliance and control.
