Phil Venables, Google Cloud CISO, expressed the need to focus on the basics of cybersecurity, stating, “Even while people are searching for the more advanced approaches, people should really remember that you’ve got to have the basics right as well.”
Google’s approach to AI cybersecurity centers around six pillars. Firstly, it involves assessing existing security controls and leveraging them for AI applications. By building on established work, cybersecurity experts can lay a strong foundation for protecting AI systems. Secondly, Google aims to expand threat intelligence efforts to encompass specific AI research, identifying and mitigating potential risks.
