Securing AI in Practice — Use Cases, Governance, and Business Alignment

Artificial Intelligence has shifted from a theoretical risk to an operational reality for CISOs, appearing in every conversation and becoming deeply embedded in security programs and business processes. Organisations are leveraging AI to automate workflows, enhance threat detection, and streamline compliance, prompting security leaders to seek practical guidance on securing these rapidly evolving implementations.

This requires a strategic approach, real-world experiences and shared lessons learned to drive towards secure and successful adoption. As CISOs align AI with broader organizational objectives, it is essential that AI investments not only reduce risk but also support revenue growth and strategic priorities.
