Securing the AI Future: Why yesterday’s security can’t protect today’s business

OVERVIEW

AI is rewriting the rules of business, offering unprecedented opportunities for growth, efficiency, and innovation. But with this comes a sobering truth: the security controls that protected organisations for the past two decades are no longer enough. AI is not just another system: it learns, evolves, and makes decisions in ways traditional platforms were never designed to secure.

Many existing security controls struggle to understand the AI-specific challenges now faced: a new approach is required. To operate safely, businesses will need AI-aware security platforms, new security behaviours, and a mindset shift that treats AI not just as a tool but as a new type of risk-bearing entity.

This isn’t a challenge to fear: it’s an invitation to lead. The organisations that move fastest to reimagine cyber security will not only protect themselves…they’ll unlock the business value of AI safely and responsibly.

We’ll cover:

• Why “legacy” security architectures are challenged defending against AI-based attacks and protecting AI applications used by the business.
• How organisations can balance AI’s transformative potential with the existential risks of deploying it insecurely.
• The cultural and behavioural changes leaders must embrace to establish a genuinely safe and responsible AI organisation.
