Securing AI in Practice — Use Cases, Governance, and Business Alignment
Artificial Intelligence has shifted from a theoretical risk to an operational reality for technology and security leaders. It’s now embedded in core business processes and security programs, influencing every strategic conversation. Organisations are deploying AI to automate workflows, strengthen threat detection, and accelerate compliance—creating both opportunity and accountability for CIOs and CISOs.
To ensure secure and successful adoption, leaders need more than technology—they need a strategic framework grounded in real-world experience. AI investments must not only mitigate risk but also advance business objectives, drive revenue growth, and align with enterprise priorities.
