An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
When AI incidents occur, they can quickly morph into bigger business risks that are no longer just an IT security problem. Stakeholders from development and operations as well as legal, marketing, HR, and the executive suite need to be in sync and work together in order to build up the muscle memory to respond to potential black swan AI events.
CYGNVS took their knowledge-based approach to cyber risk mitigation and created an AI Incident Command Center that helps cross-functional teams recognize the early warning signals of internal and external AI exploits, in order to coordinate their response to AI incidents in an out-of-band process that reduces the likelihood of remediation side effects.
When a potential incident is identified such as an AI-driven operational disruption, AI bias, or GDPR compliance violation, CYGNVS gathers operational data and launches one of dozens of response playbooks within a safe tabletop exercise environment so even external stakeholders such as consultants, legal and PR firms, and cyberinsurance providers can “game it out” and respond appropriately.
Intellyx hot take: Ideally, companies shouldn’t wait until AI incidents start happening – the best companies will prepare their own resiliency by gaming out their interdependencies and responses in this AI-driven simulation environment so they can increase the effectiveness of every role player and bring together the right telemetry data and tooling for future incident responses.
Intellyx cold take: The system isn’t just built for AI incidents, but it just so happens that most novel cross-functional incidents in play today are being caused by external AI attacks and improper or rogue AI usage within organizations.
