CISOs step into the AI spotlight
Summary
CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers, the top security leaders at companies) are taking on increasingly important roles as AI becomes central to business operations and security threats grow. Companies like Brown & Brown and PayPal are addressing AI risks by creating AI security frameworks and governance structures that require security reviews before any AI tool is deployed, ensuring AI is used safely and responsibly.
Solution / Mitigation
According to the source, companies should implement AI security frameworks that require security reviews before deploying any AI capability. These frameworks should evaluate AI use cases against security requirements, data sensitivity, operational risk, and business impact. Additionally, organizations should establish AI Governance Working Groups (as Brown & Brown has done) to perform AI risk assessments and ensure AI is fit for purpose and used responsibly.
