AI Pulse Survey, Vol. 5: The AI-People Conundrum – Learning to Lead, Not Lag

AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape fast, but many organizations are still struggling to keep up. The real challenge is knowing where AI is being used, who is responsible for it, and how to manage the risks that come with it. As AI-enabled threats grow and employee use of AI becomes harder to track, leaders need clearer rules, stronger oversight, and better visibility across the business. That means setting acceptable-use policies, building formal governance, tightening vendor requirements, and training teams to recognize and respond to AI-related risks.

Key takeaways:

• Formal governance improves visibility and confidence.
• Hidden AI use creates real cyber and control risks.
• Monitoring is essential to managing AI risk.
