AI Security Governance
October 16, 2025, 10:00 am to 11:00 am
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes deeply integrated into critical systems and revolutionize industries from healthcare and finance to national security and infrastructure, the AI systems are increasingly entrusted with sensitive data and decision-making capabilities that can significantly impact individuals and society. Without proper understanding of security controls, these systems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and misuse, leading to compromised outcomes, privacy breaches, and even physical harm.
In this webinar we will explore best practices in securing AI systems mitigating risks from adversarial attacks, and aligning AI deployments with regulatory and ethical standards.
