The Concept: Shadow AI. The Result: A Comprehensive Multifaceted Campaign.

DC&Co partnered with DTEX (dtex.ai) to develop their annual thought leadership piece, “The 2026 Cost of Insider Risk Global Report.” This initiative provides a comprehensive analysis of insider risk worldwide. With the emergence of AI, employees are increasingly using unsanctioned tools, introducing new risks.
Concept:
Expanding on the 2025 design, DC&Co collaborated with the DTEX team to evolve the new cover, featuring an eclipse to represent the rise of “shadow AI.” Shadow AI refers to unsanctioned tools that operate beyond security’s oversight, quietly increasing insider risk.
Execution:
DC&Co designed every aspect of the cybersecurity campaign to help promote the report and drive engagement across different channels.
