The eDiscovery landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). What was once a labor-intensive, manual process is now being revolutionized by technologies capable of analyzing vast volumes of data with speed, precision and insight. AI is not just a buzzword; it’s a catalyst for smarter, faster and more defensible legal workflows.

AI agents are quickly becoming “first-class citizens” in financial services, mimicking human behavior and holding privileged access that rivals employees. Yet unlike people, they don’t appear on your official org chart. The financial services sector already lives in a state of constant tension: the race to adopt new technologies for a competitive edge often faces off with the duty to preserve customer trust earned over decades of reliability, regulation, and security.

A new report has found that nearly 40% of security leaders believe their organizations are least prepared for phishing and other social engineering attacks, Help Net Security reports. According to the report from VikingCloud, these concerns are driven by the increasing use of AI tools to assist in cyberattacks. “Generative or agentic AI-driven phishing attacks (51%) are leadership teams’ top concern when it comes to new cyberattack techniques,” the report says.

For years, cybersecurity strategies relied on the idea of a trusted perimeter — a secure boundary around corporate networks. However, traditional perimeter security, while once effective, is increasingly limited in dynamic IoT environments where devices operate outside fixed boundaries. In 2025, that concept is obsolete.

Students are logging into Chromebooks after sneaking in a final Snap before leaving their phones in lockers. In the finance office, payments are being processed.
