Costs associated with AI security can spiral without strong governance, with data breaches averaging $4.88 million in 2024.
AI leaders must focus on a governance-driven approach to control spend, reduce security risks, and streamline operations to improve security and control costs.
Failure to incorporate transparency, trust, and security in AI initiatives could result in a 50% decline in model adoption and business goals.
Rising costs in AI are a significant challenge for organizations, leading to questions about investment alignment and effectiveness.
Financial risks of AI failures include reputational damage, regulatory fines, legal exposure, investor lawsuits, crisis management efforts, erosion of trust, and more.
Shadow AI, unmanaged AI solutions deployed without oversight, can introduce security vulnerabilities, technical debt, and costly remediation efforts.
Expertise gaps in AI governance and security create inefficiencies, delays, and higher costs, diverting focus from value-generating work and hindering AI progress.
Complex tooling for securing AI involves model scanning, data encryption, continuous monitoring, compliance auditing, specialized AI guards, and shields, leading to integration challenges, maintenance costs, and redundant solutions.
Traditional IT security measures are not sufficient for evolving AI systems, which continuously adapt to new data and interactions, introducing unique risks that are harder to detect and control.
AI security gaps extend to generative AI solutions and agentic systems, presenting challenges such as prompt injection attacks, jailbreaking attacks, and data poisoning, which threaten business outcomes.
