How does generative AI complicate cybersecurity management?
The use of generative AI tools across various departments complicates cybersecurity management due to a lack of control and visibility. With different teams employing these tools for various purposes, it becomes challenging to establish clear rules and oversight. This can lead to confusion over responsibilities and increase the risk of AI cyberattacks.
What steps can companies take to mitigate AI-related cybersecurity risks?
To mitigate AI-related cybersecurity risks, companies should implement clear guidelines and training for staff on the safe use of generative AI tools. Conducting red-teaming exercises can help test how easily sensitive information might be exposed.
