What does a data breach cost? AI is a sizable factor

Organizations should deploy stronger access controls on AI models and their APIs, review integrations and plug-ins, monitor unusual activity, and assign a clearly defined owner responsible for each AI system's security. CISOs should embed security into development workflows, manage exposures aggressively, and use a defense-in-depth approach (multiple layers of security rather than relying on single protections) by continuously testing AI models against realistic adversarial attacks before and throughout deployment to validate that security guardrails work effectively.
