INTERNET, IT & E-DISCOVERY BLOG: Anyone surprised that AI is transforming Audit, Risk, and Compliance? https://lnkd.in/gJuenMfz https://lnkd.in/g4wQY33N SCMagazine.com reported that ““AI and automation are two of the most powerful tools helping audit, risk and compliance teams close the risk resiliency gap,…and the AuditBoard believe that if cyber has reshaped the enterprise risk assessments and management world, AI is about to push ESG frameworks into overdrive.” The September 27, 2024 entitled “4 ways AI is transforming audit, risk and compliance” (https://lnkd.in/gTMeJDJc) included these comments from Rich Marcus at Audit &Beyond 2024 conference: AI and automation are reshaping audit, risk, and compliance workflows, especially in cybersecurity, by boosting efficiency and accuracy. These tools help bridge the gap between fast-evolving threats, regulatory demands, and limited resources. AI enables real-time risk sharing, automates the culling of evidentiary data, and streamlines framework stress testing, allowing teams to conduct more frequent assessments with a more accurate analysis. This process not only sharpens cybersecurity defenses, but makes it easier for companies to juggle new regulations like the SEC’s cybersecurity disclosure rules. Marcus suggested the whole of these complimentary technologies is greater than the sum of its parts. By automating labor-intensive tasks like evidence collection, control testing, and risk reporting it allows for real-time risk management. This transformation frees up compliance teams to focus on strategic decision-making and responding proactively to evolving threats, he said.

In a sea of uncertainty, guidance can assist in finding your way through the fog of unmitigated risks. Governmental agencies enact laws and regulations to assist us in reducing this uncertainty. Even regulations are not enough. Government agencies publish regulatory guidance because organizations can be unclear on how to operationalize compliance. The New York State Department of Financial Services has published guidance on mitigating cybersecurity threats related to artificial intelligence (AI). I thought this was important to discuss because there are not many resources for companies to benchmark themselves on what “good” looks like. Even if your industry is not financial services, I believe the guidance could be a blueprint so you make sense of AI risks: The NYDFS guidance identifies "AI-specific risk areas such as: 1) Social Engineering 2) Theft of Non-Public Information 3) Increased Vulnerabilities Due to Supply Chain Dependencies 4) Need for Multiple Layers of Cybersecurity Controls 5) Monitoring Processes to Detect Vulnerabilities 6) Data Management Practices 7) Third-Party Vendor Management 8) Weak User Access Controls 9) Incomplete Cybersecurity Training 10) Theft of Biometric Data Used in AI Logon Solutions, Which Could Be Exploited To Generate Realistic Deepfakes” Quite the list. To me, these risks apply to all organizations. So, what can you do to manage these risks? 1) Implement multiple layers of cybersecurity controls to ensure redundancy 2) Establish monitoring processes to detect vulnerabilities and maintain strong data management practices 3) Third-party vendor management, access controls, and cybersecurity training Is the NYDFS risk list in line with your understanding of AI risks? What would you add? What would you deprioritize? Read the October 16, 2024 Industry Letter on the NYDFS website.

Board Oversight in the Digital Era: The Imperative for Cyber and AI Technology Committee In today's digital landscape, where a single cyberattack can compromise millions of records and AI missteps can lead to significant ethical and financial fallout, the imperative for corporate boards to proactively manage digital risks has reached a critical juncture. The reality of this urgency is underscored by recent high-profile cyberattacks on entities like Boeing and the US Government, signaling a pressing need for enhanced cybersecurity vigilance. With just 6% of Russell 3000 companies reporting cybersecurity expertise on their boards, the gap in digital oversight is stark. This shortfall comes at a time when the digital domain offers both unprecedented opportunities and formidable challenges. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to add between $2.6 trillion and $4.4 trillion to the global economy annually. Yet, the rapid evolution of cybersecurity threats and the transformative impact of AI demand strategic and knowledgeable oversight at the highest levels of governance. Bridging the Oversight Gap The complexities of managing cybersecurity and AI are vast, spanning from technical intricacies like cloud computing and encryption to ethical considerations in AI deployment. Despite these challenges, many boards remain ill-equipped, often lacking the perspective necessary to address digital risks effectively. A dedicated sub-committee focused on Cybersecurity and AI can bridge this gap. Such a committee would provide specialized oversight of cyber risk management and AI initiatives, ensuring comprehensive risk management and enhanced stakeholder communication. Recommendations for Effective Oversight To navigate the digital era adeptly, boards should: - Form a dedicated Cybersecurity and AI sub-committee with a clear and focused mandate. - Incorporate diverse expertise within the committee, spanning cyber, AI, and ethical considerations to encourage innovative solutions. - Engage external experts to augment board knowledge and remain abreast of evolving digital trends. - Develop and regularly review a cyber risk appetite, aligning cybersecurity strategies with overarching business goals. - Champion ethical AI use, going beyond compliance to address broader ethical implications of AI technologies. Conclusion: Fostering Trust and Innovation Forming a dedicated sub-committee for cybersecurity and AI is not merely a regulatory compliance measure but a strategic imperative that signals a board's commitment to responsible and innovative digital governance. Such proactive oversight not only builds trust in the company's cybersecurity capabilities and AI stewardship but also positions the company for long-term success. Let's not wait for a crisis to underscore the importance of digital oversight. The time for boards to act is now. Please read the attached paper on Board Oversight.

Hi @everyone Let us address the ethical considerations in cybersecurity, especially within the realms of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC), 1. Surveillance Technologies: Employing surveillance technologies raises ethical questions about the balance between security and individual freedoms. Ethical use involves clear legal frameworks, oversight, and ensuring that surveillance is necessary, proportionate, and targeted. 2. Ransomware Payments: Paying ransoms can fund criminal activities and incentivize further attacks. Ethical considerations involve developing robust backup and recovery processes, investing in prevention and detection capabilities, and working with law enforcement rather than succumbing to ransom demands. 3. Supply Chain Security: Organizations have an ethical responsibility to ensure the security of their products and services, which extends to their supply chains. This involves due diligence, transparent communication about risks, and collaborative efforts to enhance the overall security posture of the supply chain. 4. AI and Autonomous Systems: The deployment of AI and autonomous systems, particularly in critical and life-impacting fields, requires careful consideration of ethical implications, including accountability for decisions made by AI, ensuring transparency in how decisions are made, and preparing for unintended consequences. 5. Incident Response and Data Breach Notification: Ethically handling incidents and breaches involves timely notification to affected individuals, clear communication about the implications, and transparency about remediation efforts. This also includes learning from incidents to prevent future breaches.
