RISK & RESILIENCE
Companies require comprehensive oversight of AI use cases and structured training programmes to maintain data security. This approach needs to encompass security protocols integrated into all processes and clear guidelines for acceptable AI use.
“ We’ ve seen workers flock to unapproved Gen AI tools in droves as a way to boost productivity. But in the process employees have, sometimes inadvertently, been feeding in sensitive corporate data including legal documentation, HR and privacy related data, having left IT and Security teams with a growing problem over which they have no direct control,” says Martin.
Communications regarding AI security must be regularly updated and personalised for different employee groups. Regular training updates are essential to ensure both employers and employees can leverage emerging technologies securely.
“ With employees increasingly experimenting with AI, secure AI integration demands a structured approach that encompasses security protocols baked into all processes and clear direction on accepted AI use,” Martin adds.“ To achieve this, companies need full oversight of AI use cases and an effective training plan, so employees understand their key role in keeping organisational data secure.
