Artificial intelligence is transforming every corner of the enterprise, accelerating innovation, enhancing decision making, and redefining competitive advantage. But with this new technology comes a wave of risks that traditional security models were never designed to handle.
AI Security for CISOs is the guide for security leaders navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of AI threats, governance requirements, and regulatory expectations. Designed specifically for CISOs and senior security executives, this book provides a clear, actionable framework for understanding, securing, and governing AI across complex organisations.
You'll discover how AI systems introduce new categories of risk, from model manipulation and data leakage to adversarial attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities. You'll learn how to evaluate AI vendors, build governance structures aligned with frameworks like NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act, and design end-to-end security controls that protect models, pipelines, and production environments.
More than just a technical guide, this book focuses on the strategic responsibilities of the modern CISO. You'll gain insights into building an AI ready security operating model, defining enterprise risk appetite, preparing for audits, developing LLM incident response playbooks, and communicating AI risks to executive leadership and the board.
Whether your organisation is deploying AI for the first time or already integrating LLMs and autonomous tools at scale, this book will help you lead with confidence.
