Unprecedented AI advancements present both uncharted opportunities and complex challenges for organisations. With AI emerging as both a formidable ally and a potential adversary, cybersecurity remains top of mind as a critical priority. CIOs and CISOs are tasked with defending against AI-powered cyberattacks and finding ways to leverage emerging technologies to bolster their organisations’ cybersecurity defenses. By effectively incorporating AI into cybersecurity frameworks, organisations can protect critical assets and data while allowing for innovation in a secure environment.
Join this discussion to explore strategic approaches to continuous monitoring, adapting to emerging threats and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness across the organisation.
- What have you seen or heard from peers about AI attacks and the responses to those attacks?
- How are organisations evolving to better combat the evolving threats and increased number of attacks due to AI? How are CIOs and CISOs leveraging AI to improve incident response?
- How can CIOs and CISOs better communicate and collaborate with stakeholders across the business about developing proactive strategies against offensive AI threats?
- What key elements should be included in an AI governance framework to effectively manage risks and maintain trust within an organisation?
- How can organisations foster a security culture that adapts to the changes brought about by AI and what role do CIOs and CISOs play in this transformation?
