Master AI Risk and Mature Your Governance
Adapting cyber strategies for AI is a critical ask for every CISO
The era of rapid AI experimentation has matured into a mandate for secure, business-aligned governance. For the CISO, the mission has shifted from reactive, technical checkboxes to building an identity-first foundation; yet false confidence in AI maturity is breeding cybersecurity gaps that threaten to derail business-critical initiatives. Download this guide for key steps to achieving success on this mission-critical priority and to learn more about how Gartner collaborates with leaders like you to drive key outcomes.
Resilience, growth and support
As AI becomes mainstream, CISOs must mature their governance processes to incorporate AI security, enabling confidence to pursue business-first AI goals at the same time as addressing the risks.
Gartner has identified the major actions and decisions on your journey to success on this mission-critical priority. Our tools and insights support you throughout these steps, which will typically span many quarters or even years. (Your organization may or may not need to pursue each of them in any given order.)
The steps to adapt cybersecurity strategies for AI are:
Define AI risk boundaries and governance principles early
