How can you adopt AI in cybersecurity responsibly?
As artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a critical component of many security tools, the topic of AI has become inescapable for MSSPs. Bringing powerful AI tools into the security operations center (SOC) comes with huge opportunities but also major risks.Anthony Green is an expert at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. He is a member of the AI Ethics Advisory Panel for the Digital Governance Council and a former president of the ISACA Vancouver chapter. D3 recently hosted Anthony on our podcast, Let’s SOC About It, where the conversation covered many key considerations for MSSPs in the AI era.While AI in cybersecurity isn’t new, the landscape has evolved dramatically with the emergence of generative AI. Green explains that organizations must approach AI implementation with the same rigor applied to any critical security infrastructure. He advocates for comprehensive vendor evaluation — examining everything from data processing locations to training methodologies. This due diligence becomes particularly crucial when dealing with AI systems that make automated decisions affecting security operations**, where accuracy and reliability are paramount.**Green recommends approaching AI implementation through the familiar lens of cloud security principles while adding necessary considerations for ethics and bias. Organizations must scrutinize AI vendors with the same rigor applied to any cloud service provider by examining encryption standards, access controls, and vulnerability management practices. Additionally, security teams should work in concert with privacy teams to establish proper guardrails, especially when handling sensitive data through AI systems.
