Description

As generative AI becomes deeply embedded in enterprise operations, fueling copilots, assistants, and automated agents, organizations face a wave of new and dynamic security risks. Traditional cybersecurity architectures are ill-equipped to address the fluidity, autonomy, and unpredictability of GenAI systems.

This report provides chief information security officers (CISOs) with a comprehensive roadmap to secure the enterprise adoption of GenAI technologies. It identifies key risk vectors, including prompt injection, data leakage, API exploitation, model poisoning, and shadow AI, and outlines strategic shifts required to mitigate them.

Drawing from interviews with leading vendors, the study maps the GenAI security ecosystem across three solution categories: real-time defense, offensive testing, and agentic AI protection. It delivers five strategic imperatives for CISOs, from lifecycle-wide governance and adaptive controls to offensive testing and secure-by-design adoption. The report also highlights three high-growth opportunities in GenAI security, underscoring the need for platform convergence, SME-friendly solutions, and continuous red teaming. Ultimately, the CISO emerges not as a gatekeeper but as a risk strategist and enabler of secure, AI-driven innovation.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
