Role Overview
AI has expanded the attack surface dramatically: shadow AI tools, model supply-chain risk, prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and adversarial misuse. CISOs need AI-aware security controls and continuous visibility.
Primary AI Governance Challenges
- Shadow AI tools across business units
- AI vendor and model supply-chain risk
- Prompt and data leakage
- Inadequate AI-specific incident response
- Lack of AI-aware control coverage
Common Risks
- Sensitive data exfiltration via AI tools
- Compromised AI vendors and models
- Adversarial attacks on AI systems
- Compliance failures (ISO 27001, SOC 2)
- Regulator findings on AI security posture
Questions Leaders Should Ask
What AI tools are in use? What data are they touching? Which controls extend to AI? How are AI incidents detected and responded to? Are AI vendors meeting our security expectations?
