A comprehensive approach to AI governance, security, and compliance for enterprise organizations
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into enterprise operations, organizations face unique security challenges that traditional cybersecurity approaches cannot fully address.
Current AI governance is often delegated to roles without security expertise, while cybersecurity governance lacks AI-specific knowledge.
AI systems face specialized threats like model poisoning, adversarial attacks, and training data manipulation that require specialized security approaches.
Emerging AI regulations create new compliance requirements that intersect with existing cybersecurity compliance frameworks.
The Chief AI Security Officer (CAISO) role bridges the gap between AI governance and cybersecurity, providing specialized leadership for securing AI systems while coordinating with existing security functions.
