Protecting enterprise data from AI risks
One of the key topics discussed at the workshop was the security challenges in applying Generative AI. To implement effective protective measures, businesses first need to understand the risks they face daily, accurately assess, and then choose the most suitable and effective solutions. According to Mr. Nguyen Tran Hoang Giang,  Microsoft Solutions Consultant at HPT, stated that AI can automatically retrieve and process data. However, without strict control mechanisms, businesses may encounter the following risks:

  • Leakage of sensitive data due to uncontrolled AI data retrieval.
  • Risk of AI-driven phishing attacks (a form of scam that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate deceptive content) as cybercriminals exploit AI to create scam emails.
  • Misuse of data if AI is not properly managed.
