Overview
The rapid evolution of AI and generative AI (GenAI) has led to a surge in AI-powered products and applications. However, alongside these innovations come significant risks. Without proper monitoring, governance, tooling and awareness, reliance on AI can result in substantial legal, ethical and security challenges. Organizations must address how to implement and utilize AI responsibly to avoid sensitive information exposure, data theft, privacy violations and reputational harm.
To support this need, Optiv, the cyber advisory and solutions leader, last year launched its AI Security Services. Through these services, Optiv empowers organizations to securely harness the innovation and efficiency of AI to accelerate business outcomes while minimizing associated risks. The company does this by providing guidance on transparent organizational policies and procedures for responsible AI adoption, utilization and risk management across all known AI use cases.
