Harnessing AI Without Exposing Sensitive Data

Leading MTSP Explains New Secure AI Platform for SMBs

BILLINGS, MT - Connect Telephone & Computer Group, a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), announced today that the company is providing small to mid-sized business and non-profits artificial intelligence tools without exposing their organizations to the common security risks posed by the most popular platforms. As organizations have adopted AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Copilot, their employees are unknowingly creating a major security risk: exposing sensitive information to public AI technologies. Connect Telephone & Computer Group now provides an all-encompassing AI solution that combines all of the popular tools with the highest level of security.

In January 2026, BlackFog found that 86% of workers use AI at least weekly for work tasks and 49% of workers admit using AI tools at work without employer approval. Whether workers are using these tools to conduct searches, create documents or enter organization information, they are doing it in a risky manner because none of the tools are secure. Most organizations have invested in cybersecurity. They have implemented firewalls, endpoint protection, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), email security, backup systems, and network monitoring. However, most are now unknowingly bypassing all of those protections the moment workers begin interacting with an unsecured public AI tool.
