“Adopting cloud technology and Gen AI has significantly reduced visibility into where data is stored , who can access it , and how it is protected ”
MARTIN BORRETT TECHNICAL DIRECTOR , IBM SECURITY
Although some issues may remain in terms of attack surface , Martin argues how data security and integrity can be kept in case of a breach when working with cloud and Gen AI .
Responsible usage , that organisations should only use Gen AI tools for legitimate purposes ; data minimisation , that organisations should only feed it the essentials ; secure data handling to ensure things like encrypted sending of the information , and regular audits and monitoring of these cloud and Gen AI services to ensure data integrity within them .
Gen AI undoubtedly offers powerful cybersecurity benefits , but its adoption comes at a cost – potential loss of data control . As organisations embrace public clouds and third-party AI platforms , proprietary data becomes scattered across external systems beyond their purview .
With such large amounts of data needed , organisations should not be swept up in the race for AI in an implementations at all cost approach .
