How Organizations Can Mitigate the Emerging Cloud AI Security Risks

Many organizations are currently ill-equipped to forestall the ever-evolving risks to their cloud-based data in the era of artificial intelligence systems like agentic AI and generative AI models. Cyber-security has taken on a whole new meaning for entities with their data on the cloud, and several measures need to be taken fast in order to proactively respond to these emerging threats rather than waiting to be reactive.

The first step to take is to map data assets to the emerging threats. For example, if an organization is using a cloud-based generative AI tool, it is important to assess and map out the specific threats that such a tool presents to their cloud-based data. Prompt injection threats can, for instance, result in proprietary data being accessed by unauthorized persons. How is your organization prepared to address such an emerging threat?

It is also recommended to automate judiciously while ensuring that the automated systems have appropriate human oversight. Ongoing audits, mandated reviews by humans and independent help with oversight can go a long way towards ensuring proactive steps are taken to avert emerging AI risks.

Risk governance also needs to be integrated across different teams in the organization. The proliferation of AI now requires that everyone takes part in averting possible threats, not just the IT team. For example, an AI-generated email can be sent to an employee, resulting in valuable data being shared with persons who shouldn’t be privy to that information. When all teams are brought on board to actively participate in risk governance, such vectors through which data can be compromised are easily managed.

It is crucial to document, test and attack AI models used by the entity on an ongoing basis. This detects vulnerabilities and countermeasures can be implemented before those vulnerabilities are exploited by malicious actors.

Educate and keep iterating important AI-based threats. Compliance manuals are no longer enough. It is necessary to continuously educate your personnel about different threats as they emerge and iterate important safeguards that need to be constantly implemented. This ongoing education will keep everyone up to speed and many threats will be kept at bay when you have an alert workforce.

Risk management needs to be agile, and organizations must take action fast. Various cloud service providers like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) usually provide general guidelines or even industry-specific recommendations for organizations to include in their security systems. Private entities can also be called upon to help in designing and implementing organization-specific measures. Inaction is a recipe for disaster, so don’t wait to act after an incident.
