AI Security – Who's Got Your Back When the Breach Hits the Fan?

If you're going to hand over sensitive data and let AI automate decisions, you better be damn sure it's secure. Because when things go sideways—and they will—it's your name on the dotted line.

Microsoft

Microsoft doesn't play around when it comes to security. They've got over 8,500 full-time security pros and spend more than a billion dollars a year making sure bad actors stay out. Their AI stack sits on top of all that. Enterprise-grade security, end to end, with real-time threat detection and built-in protections.

If your board asks who's liable for a breach, you can at least say, "We went with the company that literally wrote the playbook on enterprise security."

Google

Google's no slouch either. They built their cloud with a security-first mindset. But they're still more of a consumer-first company at heart. They don't have the same alignment with enterprise risk frameworks. Translation: it's good, but you may end up needing to layer on your own controls.

Salesforce

Salesforce is solid—inside their own walls. Einstein AI lives happily inside their CRM world. But try to stretch beyond that, and it's not as airtight. Their AI isn't hardened across the enterprise stack like Microsoft's is. You're mostly secure in their world, but outside of it? You're on your own.

Open-Source

With open-source, you get what you pay for—and what you're not paying for is security. Patching is your problem. Monitoring is your problem. If something gets exploited, that's your fire to put out. For startups trying to move fast, open-source might fly. For enterprises with something to lose? It's a gamble.

Startups

Startups talk a big game about being secure. But "bank-grade encryption" means nothing if the dev team is three people and a dog. They might mean well, but they just don't have the scale or maturity to handle breaches the way a Fortune 500 needs.

The Digital Labor Factory Angle

We only work with Microsoft's AI stack. Why? Because we're not interested in helping companies save a few bucks up front just to watch them burn later. We help clients reduce headcount with confidence, knowing their AI systems are locked down and battle-tested.

If you want to replace people and sleep at night, start with Microsoft—and talk to us.
