Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity—Balancing Risks and Rewards? #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) is transforming industries, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation, but also introducing complex cybersecurity challenges. The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC), University of Oxford, presents this report to address the dual role of AI as both a tool for strengthening #cybersecurity and a potential attack vector.? The Dual Impact of AI on Cybersecurity ?? AI’s influence on cybersecurity is twofold: it enhances cyber defense mechanisms while simultaneously being leveraged by malicious actors to conduct more sophisticated attacks. #Cybercriminals exploit AI for large-scale phishing, reconnaissance, zero-day exploit detection, and AI model poisoning. Meanwhile, defenders employ AI for advanced threat detection, automated remediation, and enhanced #riskassessment.? Emerging Cybersecurity Practices for AI ?? A proactive approach to AI cybersecurity is essential. The report introduces the “Shift Left, Expand Right, and Repeat” model, which emphasizes:?? - Shift Left: Implementing security-by-design principles early in AI system development.?? - Expand Right: Extending cybersecurity measures beyond deployment to continuously monitor and mitigate risks.?? - Repeat: Continuously reassessing vulnerabilities throughout the AI lifecycle.? Strategic Leadership in AI Cyber Risk Management AI adoption must be governed by clear cybersecurity policies aligned with business objectives. Senior executives must ensure:?? - A cross-disciplinary #riskmanagement approach involving cybersecurity, legal, compliance, and #business units.?? - AI application inventories to track exposure and manage risks associated with “shadow AI.”?? - Secure AI #supplychains, ensuring transparency in third-party AI integrations.?? - Investment in #cybersecurityinfrastructure, #workforce training, and AI-specific resilience frameworks.? Regulatory and compliance considerations are also critical, as AI governance standards are evolving rapidly across jurisdictions. Organizations must align AI cybersecurity strategies with global regulatory frameworks to mitigate legal and #financialrisks.?? ?? In summary, AI’s integration into cybersecurity presents a paradox: it strengthens defenses while simultaneously introducing new risks. Organizations must adopt an adaptive, forward-looking cybersecurity strategy to navigate this evolving landscape. Effective AI risk management requires collaboration between AI developers, cybersecurity professionals, regulators, and #policymakers. By embedding security into AI’s entire lifecycle, businesses can confidently leverage AI’s potential while mitigating its risks, ensuring both resilience and competitive advantage in an increasingly AI-driven #economy.

Why Your Cybersecurity Team Should Lead AI Governance and Set Up an AIMS The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, and its benefits are undeniable. But with great power comes great responsibility. As AI systems increasingly make decisions that impact operations, security, and even ethics, it’s clear that organizations need more than innovation—they need governance. Enter the cybersecurity team. Cybersecurity professionals already understand the intersection of technology, risk, and compliance better than most. We’ve spent years identifying vulnerabilities, managing threats, and building frameworks to secure complex systems. These same principles are essential for AI governance, which is why cybersecurity should take the lead. Why Cyber Teams Are Perfect for AI Governance: 1. Risk Management Expertise: AI systems are prone to risks like data poisoning, adversarial attacks, and algorithmic biases. Cyber teams are trained to anticipate and mitigate such threats. 2. Regulatory Knowledge: With the AI Act now in force (and similar regulations on the horizon globally), compliance is critical. Cyber teams are already adept at aligning technology practices with laws and standards. 3. Ethical Oversight: Much like protecting personal data, ensuring AI operates ethically requires clear boundaries and monitoring. Cybersecurity brings a culture of accountability that can be extended to AI systems. The Case for an AI Management System (AIMS): An AI Management System (AIMS) is the AI equivalent of an ISMS (Information Security Management System). It’s a structured approach to governing AI across the organization, ensuring risks are managed, compliance is maintained, and performance aligns with strategic goals. AIMS enables: ? AI Risk Assessments: Identifying vulnerabilities in data, algorithms, and decision-making processes. ? Incident Response for AI Failures: Preparing for when AI systems malfunction or make biased decisions. ? Continuous Monitoring: Ensuring AI systems remain secure, fair, and transparent throughout their lifecycle. ? Cross-Functional Collaboration: Bringing together stakeholders from IT, legal, and business to address AI challenges holistically. By setting up an AIMS, your organization doesn’t just stay compliant—it stays ahead. And who better to lead this effort than the team already dedicated to protecting your organization’s digital backbone? Cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting data; it’s about safeguarding trust. Let’s extend that trust to AI. At NS we walk this talk! #Cybersecurity #AI #Governance #AIMS #Leadership #AIRegulation #RiskManagement

Day 12/31: Do you think the rise of artificial intelligence will reduce the need for cybersecurity professionals? The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the cybersecurity landscape, but it's unlikely to reduce the need for cybersecurity professionals—if anything, it will enhance their roles. While AI can automate many repetitive tasks like threat detection, monitoring, and vulnerability scanning, it won’t replace the need for skilled experts. AI will serve as a tool that empowers professionals to focus on complex decision-making, strategy, and incident response. However, as AI advances, so do cyber threats. Attackers will leverage AI to create more sophisticated hacking techniques, requiring skilled professionals to stay ahead of these new attack vectors. Cybersecurity professionals will still play a critical role, as human judgment, ethics, and nuanced decision-making are essential in managing and interpreting AI-driven systems. AI might be smart, but it can’t replicate human instincts when it comes to ethical decisions or risk management. Additionally, with more organizations adopting AI, there will be an increased need for experts who can oversee the governance and security of AI systems. Managing AI risks and ensuring the systems are secure, ethical, and unbiased will require cybersecurity professionals with deep expertise in both fields. In fact, the rise of AI will likely increase the demand for cybersecurity professionals who are skilled in AI and machine learning. Rather than reducing the need for talent, AI is shifting the skills required in cybersecurity. AI may change the way we approach cybersecurity, but human expertise will always be the cornerstone of effective defense strategies. The future of cybersecurity will be a partnership between AI and professionals, not a replacement.

As organizations increasingly integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their business operations, it is crucial to implement policies that address both the challenges and opportunities of AI. These policies should ensure that AI outputs are critically evaluated, safeguarding against potential errors and biases. Additionally, they must provide comprehensive governance to protect the organization’s data from cyber threats and establish clear guidelines for the ethical and responsible use of AI across all aspects of the business.??This is why it is important for organizations to adopt an AI policy sooner than later. An AI policy will provide guidelines for the implementation, management, and governance of AI within an organization to ensure ethical, secure, and efficient use of AI technologies. The policy should apply to all departments, employees, contractors, and third-party entities involved in the development, deployment, and utilization of AI systems within your organization. At minimum, the following areas should be covered and established as guidelines for a comprehensive AI policy: 1. Ethical Use of AI 2. Data Privacy and Security 3. Governance and Accountability 4. Training and Awareness 5. Risk Management 6. Compliance and Legal Considerations 7. Monitoring and Evaluation 8. Innovation and Continuous Improvement The IT department, in collaboration with the AI governance committee, should be responsible for implementing the policy. Regular reviews and audits should be conducted to ensure compliance and address any emerging issues. The policy should also be reviewed annually and updated as necessary to ensure it remains relevant and effective. The graphic below shows a basic framework for developing an AI policy for an organization. #RECC #commercialrealestate #cybersecurity #cyberharmony #builtenvironment #artificialintellengence #AI

Leveraging AI for cyber operations 3 ways to use —3 risks to manage? I have been engaged with the use of machine learning and AI since as far back as 2014 in the private sector. Meanwhile, elements within the US government have developed substantial expertise in actual AI technologies over the past 15 years. This illustrates not only the longevity but also the expanding utilization of AI across various domains. It is important to recognize, however, that some companies may exploit AI as a marketing tool to capture the attention of CISOs—this tactic is often quite transparent, and unfortunate. Given this landscape, what should CISOs and their teams be vigilant about?? Here are 6 things I manage and look out for: Implement Threat Detection and Response Systems powered by generative AI. Deploy AI algorithms that can analyze big datasets at the nanoseconds order and are much more capable of enhancing your ability to detect and react to cyber threats faster and more efficiently. Critical for this quick response capability in a landscape where every second is essential. Leverage predictive analytics and risk assessment: Enterprise AI should use forecasting trends and tendencies to forecast threats and vulnerabilities to security. An ability that is this proactive will allow you to mitigate risks even before they blossom into serious cyber incidents, hence offering you more security. AI-driven Automation: Improve your incident response processes with AI-driven automation to make them faster. It helps accelerate your response times and dramatically enhances the efficiency of your security operations to exercise a level of control and limitation on a breach never obtained before. But with such high benefits involved in integrating enterprise AI into your cybersecurity strategy, some downsides must also accompany these rewards: Data Privacy Concerns: Since AI systems handle sensitive information, even this needs to be fortified about the breach, compromising data privacy.? Algorithmic Bias: Your AI algorithms may have biases that lead to discriminatory outcomes, which would seriously compromise your security operations' soundness.? Dependence on AI: Even if AI solutions can help you boost your security operations almost perfectly, always bear in mind that in all their jobs, there is a critical need for human oversight. #CISO #CIO #CEO #Cybersecurity #Cyber&AI #AI Jason Firch, MBA Joshua Copeland Walter Haydock Allan Alford
