Based on the interviews, we identified five key findings with the following main concerns:

Pressure for rapid adoption

Business leaders are pushing for quick AI adoption, often outpacing security measures.

Lack of control over AI SaaS solutions

The complexity of AI SaaS solutions limits control and transparency.

Increased risk of attacks

Rapid AI adoption is expected to fuel more sophisticated cyber attacks.

Regulatory challenges

Over-regulation may burden business processes, inadvertently aiding attackers.

What should industry leaders do to gain advantage and secure security?

To effectively counter these challenges, professionals are actively engaging with AI, and organisations are investing in specialist education and widespread employee training. Community and knowledge-sharing structures are being established across industries. Our recommendations provide comprehensive measures to fortify your AI security posture.
