Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- AI risk often falls between security and governance, leading to costly misalignment
- Most enterprises lack mature AI governance despite widespread adoption
- Regulatory pressures are intensifying with new frameworks and deadlines
- Adversaries are exploiting gaps in AI risk management
- Actionable strategies and diagnostic tools can help unify risk functions
As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in enterprise operations, the challenge of managing its risks has grown more complex. The upcoming event, “The Price of Misaligned AI Risk Functions,” brings together industry experts to examine why AI risk management often falters at the intersection of security and governance—and what organizations can do to address this costly divide.
Understanding the Divide: Security vs. Governance
AI risk is rarely the sole responsibility of either security or governance teams. Security professionals focus on attack surfaces and incident response, while governance teams are tasked with policy enforcement and compliance. This split perspective means both groups are often addressing the same risks from different angles, creating operational blind spots and inefficiencies.
Current State of AI Risk Management
Recent industry data highlights the urgency of the issue. While 83% of enterprises now use AI tools, fewer than 20% have established mature governance frameworks. Nearly half of employees are leveraging generative AI outside the purview of IT, and prompt injection attacks have surged by 340% year-over-year. These trends underscore the growing exposure organizations face when risk functions remain siloed.
Regulatory Pressures and Industry Response
Regulatory bodies are responding to the rapid adoption of AI with new standards and deadlines. The EU AI Act, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and ISO 42001 are reshaping compliance expectations. For many organizations, the status quo is no longer sustainable, and the cost of inaction is rising.
Bridging the Gap: Practical Solutions
The event will feature insights from Echelon Risk + Cyber and Cranium AI, focusing on actionable steps to close the gap between security and governance. Presenters will share six diagnostic questions designed to help organizations assess their current risk posture, along with a 90-day roadmap for integrating security and governance functions. The discussion will also explore how adversaries are exploiting misalignment and what enterprises can do to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Who Should Attend?
