Why Are Governments Banning and Employees Smuggling AI?

In this episode of The Awareness Angle, we break down the latest cybersecurity news, including the global bans on DeepSeek, a Chinese AI tool, and the growing impact of AI in the workplace. We also explore the recent WhatsApp spyware attack on journalists, the challenges of getting employees to engage with security policies, and key insights from the CybSafe 2025 predictions report.The conversation highlights the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape and the need to adapt security measures to counter insider threats and emerging technologies.
