This IDC PeerScape, which is based on interviews with CIOs and CISOs from global organizations representing diverse industries and geographies, offers guidance on how IT leaders can help their organizations develop security policies that address the unique challenges posed by AI.“AI may still feel new, but now is the time for enterprises to bake AI-related protections into their formal security policies,” says Chris Tozzi, adjunct research advisor for IDC’s IT Executive Programs (IEP). “The sooner IT leaders perform this important work, the sooner they can bring clarity, consistency, and proactive protection to the task of mitigating the special risks and threats that arise from AI.”
