Executive Summary
AI can help improve security, but only if the fundamentals are already in place. For unstructured data security, AI increases both opportunity and risk. The outcome depends on whether organizations have built the necessary data visibility, classification, labeling, and governance foundations. Unstructured data is not a niche problem anymore.

In the survey, documents and files accounted for 73% of unstructured data volume. Communication data accounted for 62% and logs for 43%.
