A massive unprotected database exposing 184 million credentials from major platforms and sectors has revealed severe shortcomings in data security. The credentials, harvested by infostealer malware and left in plain text, increase risks for consumers and businesses, underscoring the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity and proactive data governance measures.

With Chief AI Officers (CAIOs) rising, CDOs risk irrelevance unless they integrate AI into data strategy. Adaptation is crucial in 2025, balancing innovation and governance to remain vital in an AI-driven corporate landscape.
