Preparing for AI: The CISO's role in security, ethics and compliance
ComputerWeekly, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
The Security Think Tank considers how CISOs can best plan to facilitate the secure running of AI and Gen AI-based initiatives and ensure employees do not inadvertently leak data or make bad decisions.
As generative AI (GenAI) tools become embedded in the fabric of enterprise operations, they bring transformative promise, but also considerable risk.
For CISOs, the challenge lies in facilitating innovation while securing data, maintaining compliance across borders, and preparing for the unpredictable nature of large language models and AI agents.
The stakes are high; a compromised or poorly governed AI tool could expose sensitive data, violate global data laws, or make critical decisions based on false or manipulated inputs.
