AI Security Realities: Rethinking PII as the Sole Risk Indicator
During a client meeting, I addressed misconceptions about cybersecurity, especially the notion that absence of PII equates to no risk. I discussed how cyber threats extend beyond data theft to include system vulnerabilities that could disrupt operations and impact users, citing the SolarWinds and New York Times attacks as examples. I explained that comprehensive assessments are crucial for understanding broader cybersecurity risks, not just those involving PII. Additionally, I highlighted the importance of protecting AI models from poisoning, underscoring the need for robust security measures in AI development.
