We've all heard of Skynet—the fictional AI that took control in the movies, yeah...the terminator and all. But today, AI is no longer a sci-fi fantasy; it's the driving force behind the next industrial revolution. As AI reshapes industries, enhances cybersecurity, and unlocks new efficiencies, one thing is clear: the future is here. However, with great innovation comes great responsibility. As AI grows, so do the security risks. Can we truly say that organisations are prioritising robust security measures and, equally important, equipping people with the skills to adapt and thrive in this new digital landscape? AI is a tool; how we wield it will determine the path forward. Let’s lead with innovation, foresight, and a commitment to safeguarding our digital world! Phambili nge-AI-phambili!!

Securing AI in the Enterprise: Practical Guidance for CISOs As AI becomes a permanent addition to enterprise IT, CISOs must urgently establish robust AI security practices. The risks are real and evolving, from internal bias to AI-generated misinformation. Greg Young's latest article provides practical steps for CISOs to boost AI security and develop sound policies. Key Takeaways: Prohibit Sharing Sensitive Data: Employees must treat data shared with public AI platforms as if posting publicly. Separate Data Streams: Keep legally protected information separate from publicly shareable data. Validate AI Outputs: Always fact-check AI-generated information before use. Adopt Zero Trust: Strengthen zero trust architectures to manage AI’s ability to mimic trusted entities. The future of AI is filled with potential and risk. By implementing thoughtful and clear-eyed policies today, we can harness AI's benefits while safeguarding our enterprises. #Cybersecurity #AI #CISO #AITools #ZeroTrust #DataProtection #EnterpriseSecurity

#GenAI has transformed #AI accessibility, with the constant stream of new tools and apps. But how do we use AI #responsibly? To what extent can we #trust its output? In a keynote address at the recent Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Cyber Conference, Dr. Rumman Chowdhury made a case for structured public feedback as AI assurance. She defines AI assurance as “inspection to determine the model or model safeguards are operating as expected”. Here are 3 main pillars of AI Assurance: ✅Bias Bounties: These open challenges target narrowly scoped issues, perfect for #crowdsourcing answers to specific problems. ✅Expert Red Teaming: Closed challenges invite selected experts to test narrow harms, providing invaluable insights and supplementing internal red teaming efforts. ✅Public Red Teaming: These challenges, whether invite-only or fully open, engage a wide range of participants, facilitating data collection on a large scale to identify systemic issues. Yet navigating #biases and social elements remains a daunting task due to their contextual nature. By embracing structured #public feedback methods like Public Red Teaming, we not only broaden engagement but also enrich the process with diverse perspectives and nuanced insights, ensuring AI's #responsible and trustworthy use. #responsibleai #aiethics #publicredteaming
