The AI Arena | AI & data security: the double edged sword
In the rapidly evolving landscape of data privacy and security, it can be a challenge for organizations to stay ahead of bad actors who look for potential vulnerabilities. AI tools can help alleviate some of these concerns, but also pose a risk, since these same tools can be used for malicious purposes.
In this episode of The AI Arena, host Sean Shecter welcomes Polymer CEO Yasir Ali to the show. Yasir offers their listeners key insights on what employers can do to bolster their enterprise software defense, the human element in data privacy, and the need for collaboration between compliance and legal professionals for a more holistic approach to security.
This is a can’t-miss episode for data privacy & cybersecurity professionals, CISO’s, and attorneys advising clients on best practices to avoid data breaches.
