AI has become part of how employees work, but it’s also become part of how threat actors attack organisations. This means the employee challenge is two-fold: helping people understand the risks and helping them make good security decisions, every time.
These five principles can provide the building blocks for your AI security strategy and help play a part in its success.can
1. Design for decisions, not awareness
People don’t need to know everything about AI security; they need to know what to do when a decision needs to be made.
2. Guide in the moment
Policies and training have a role; making the secure choice visible when an employee needs to take action makes it the right action.
3. Design around reality
Security needs to compliment the everyday employee reality; if the secure option feels harder, employees will take the easier route.
4. Treat AI security as an employee experience
AI security isn’t something Security Teams can cascade to employees; a collective strategy across Technology, Security, Learning and Communications Teams will help deliver success.
5. Measure behaviour, not completion
Training completion doesn’t mean someone will make the right decision in the moment; the real test is what people do when the moment comes.
AI will keep evolving and your people’s decision making will need to evolve with it. At Blue Goose, we help organisations create the guidance, learning and communications that make those decisions easier to get right.
Security works better when it works for people.
