Highlighting the importance of leadership and governance frameworks to ensure AI aligns with business priorities, values and complies with regulations for effective management.

Addressing AI-specific cybersecurity threats with strategies like zero-trust models, detection of Gen AI specific attacks (e.g. DAN-style attacks and prompt injections) and encryption to ensure secure operations.
