The Lithium Boom is Heating Up

Thanks to growing demand, lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June 2025 to January 2026. $ALB climbed as high as 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%.

But the real winner may be a stock not listed on public exchanges, EnergyX.

This $1B unicorn’s patented technology can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That’s earned investment from leaders like General Motors.

Now they’re preparing for commercial production just as experts project 5X demand growth by 2040. They’ve announced what could be one of the US’ largest lithium production facilities and have rights to approximately 150,000 lithium-rich acres across North and South America.

Unlike public stocks, you can buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40,000+ other investors. Invest for $11/share by the 2/26 deadline.

Employees Are Deploying Their Own Tech

From cloud storage to AI chatbots, users spin up tools without IT approval. Productivity rises — but visibility vanishes. These tools become silent data leaks.

SaaS Apps Slip Past Defenses Easily

All it takes is a credit card and an email. Shadow SaaS tools bypass procurement, security review, and DLP — yet access critical data via OAuth or browser sessions.

Personal Devices Connect to Corporate Systems

Phones, tablets, and home laptops often store sensitive files. Without MDM, patching, or logging, they’re invisible to the SOC — and wide open to compromise.

Browser Extensions Are a Hidden Threat

Many extensions request full access to every page, every keystroke. If one gets hijacked or sold to an ad network, your business data goes with it.

Shadow AI Usage Is Rising Rapidly

Employees copy confidential data into ChatGPT, Notion AI, or personal AI tools. No logging, no policy, no control — but major IP and compliance risk.

Discovery Tools Are Step One — Culture Is Step Two

CASBs and SaaS inventory tools help you see shadow IT. But stopping it requires communication, trust, and giving teams secure alternatives that don’t slow them down.
