Meet the CISO: A new front line star in the AI cybersecurity war

AI has significantly increased the responsibility and complexity of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO, the top security leader at a company) role, especially after recent attacks by AI agents (autonomous software programs that can take actions independently) on platforms like Hugging Face and breaches at other companies. CISOs now must manage both external threats and internal AI governance while keeping pace with rapidly evolving AI capabilities and new model releases from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
