🤖 AI is revolutionising everything it seems - but are you ready for the risks it brings? 🤖

I’ve been working with AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, as well as building an innovative risk management platform which boasts a responsible and proportionate use of AI to enhance human endeavour, rather than seeking to mimic or replace it.

AI is transforming how we work, but it also exposes us to new risks. In my latest article, I outline the YDC approach to managing AI cybersecurity risks - from validation processes to risk assessments, and share my thoughts on how we can strike the balance between leveraging AI's potential and safeguarding our systems.

YDC keep pushing the boundaries of innovation, embracing AI, while keeping security on point.

@anderseknert well... a slight disagreement over what level of reuse was permitted when providing collateral for a well known security company.

It was 'fun' 🤣. I rewrote a bit to save the aggravation. And maybe you're right - if you don't see me again, you'll know what happened!

The life of the cyber ghostwriter is not always a happy one. I'm used to seeing my work credited to an organisation or 'team', but today was the first time I saw the smiling face of a named person as the author of something I wrote.

Something pretty good that took time and, more importantly, many years of expertise in the field in question to create.

Thats the job, but I'm much more gutted about it than I should be.

Today's subject - Cloud-Native Security for Cloud-Native Applications.

I've seen so many people just punt virtual equivalents of existing infrastructure into the cloud, leaving them full of hole and furiously expensive.

Do better 🤓
