AI at scale demands data security by design

Food for Thought: What C-suite leaders must get right before AI accelerates risk

In partnership with 

Enterprise AI adoption is accelerating across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, analytics environments, and everyday business workflows. Yet for many organisations, the pace of innovation is now outstripping their ability to understand, govern, and protect the data that AI systems depend on. This creates a fundamental leadership challenge.

Without clear visibility into sensitive data, without enforceable controls, and without confidence in how data is accessed and reused, AI initiatives introduce new forms of risk. This includes regulatory, security, ethical, and reputational. CISOs and risk leaders continually warn boards that traditional security models were never designed to handle these.

Join HotTopics and Securiti for a breakfast and debate, bringing C-suite and senior technology leaders together to explore a simple but urgent statement: There is no enterprise AI without data security.

The Food for Thought, moderated by HotTopics Editor Peter Stoajnovic, will focus on how leaders can identify and prioritise AI-driven data risks, establish data security as foundational infrastructure for AI, and enable innovation without sacrificing control, compliance, or trust.
