The emergence of AI as a transformative force is changing the way organizations approach security. While AI technologies can augment human expertise and increase the efficiency of security operations, they also introduce risks ranging from lower technical barriers for threat actors to inaccurate outputs.
As AI adoption accelerates alongside cyber threats and a growing patchwork of regulations, adapting security and compliance strategies is critical.
The World Economic Forum Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 reveals that 66% of organizations expect AI to significantly impact cybersecurity.
We’re excited to share a whitepaper we recently authored with SANS Institute called AI for Security and Security for AI: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges. The whitepaper explores the use of AI systems through three interconnected lenses: securing generative AI applications, using generative AI to strengthen overall security posture in the cloud, and protecting against generative AI-powered threats. Key considerations include the following:
- Understanding generative AI and AI agents
- Scoping generative AI use cases
- Using key concepts to help architect generative AI solutions
- Verifying large language model (LLM) outputs with automated reasoning
- Implementing responsible AI practices throughout the AI lifecycle
- Scaling security best practices
- Balancing AI automation with human oversight
Effectively using generative AI technologies to enhance your security posture while reducing associated risks is an iterative process that is different for every organization. The whitepaper details key action items that can help set you on the right path. We encourage you to download it, and gain insight into how you can address generative AI security with a multi-layered strategy that meaningfully improves your technical and business outcomes. We look forward to your feedback, and to continuing the journey together.
