Where do organizations really stand on AI readiness? Infosec surveyed cybersecurity leaders and practitioners about AI use, risk, governance and training — then brought the findings to James Stanger of CompTIA and Theo Nasser of Right-Hand Cybersecurity for their perspective during the AI Cyber Readiness Summit.
The results reveal a growing challenge for security teams: 45.9% of respondents cited employee AI use as their biggest source of AI-related urgency, while AI phishing, deepfakes, shadow AI and data leakage ranked among their top concerns. Nearly 70% also reported that their organizations have not implemented required baseline AI training.
Moderated by Infosec’s Sam D’Antonio, the discussion explores what these findings mean for organizations trying to adopt AI quickly without losing visibility, control or security.
