While generative AI has the potential to transform and enhance aspects of nearly all business operations to create opportunities and add value, it also paves the way for more complex and advanced cyber threats. Cybersecurity experts are concerned that incorporating generative AI will lead to increased privacy concerns, more undetectable phishing attacks and larger volumes and higher velocity of attacks. To mitigate these concerns, generative AI should be integrated carefully into the company.
Generative AI cybersecurity can also support traditional IT security engineering by detecting and analysing threats, implementing adaptive controls, reporting cyber risks and incidents and managing system access.
Data quality and privacy are key to generative AI.
Handled correctly, good quality, unbiased data will generate actionable insights that add value to your company, build trust with your end-users and improve ethical decision making. It is equally important for cyber services and protection, where data quality is relied upon to protect the company’s data and reputation.
Data privacy is vital for building trust, as well as mitigating the risk to the company’s reputation due to a data leak. Data privacy is achieved through awareness of how data is used by generative AI, ways to be vigilant with data, the dangers of using AI and the importance of cybersecurity.
National and EU regulations protect citizens from potential environmental, social and digital harm. However, these regulations are increasingly complex and frequently contain overlapping requirements and policies, exposing companies to legal risks if they aren’t implemented correctly. Generative AI empowers companies to improve the quality of their operations by summarising their obligations and giving insights that point the way forward.
