Securing and Governing AI in the Cloud
IDC, Fortinet & AWS Webinar
We are amidst a profound change in technology and business, with the introduction of AI at scale, that promises not only enhanced efficiency and effectiveness, but completely new business models and processes. Such change is irresistible, with near-ubiquity of adoption by the end of 2027, but it does not come without risks. AI security and governance is critical to the success of AI programs: IDC research shows that enterprises that are mature in their AI adoption are also mature in their AI governance and security.
How can enterprises increase their AI security and governance maturity? Some things have not changed. Security principles and fundamentals are as critical as ever.
But many things have changed. The attack surface now includes MCP, LLMs, AI applications, vector stores, agentic workflows, and AI-assisted coding. Add to that threat actor adoption of AI and we’re seeing intrusions at machine-speed collapsing the time-to-exploit window to 24-48 hours. The speed and scale of threats is increasing significantly, and are often across multiple environments and agentic-driven workflows.
Cloud is a primary deployment option for many AI workloads, due to its performance, agility and scale. Inevitably, concerns are raised over model and workflow security, data sensitivity and sovereignty, and compliance. So how can we enable AI innovation in the cloud to be secure and governed?
Join IDC, Fortinet & Amazon Web Services (AWS) in this informative webinar, where we will discuss:
• What are the practical considerations for deploying AI in the cloud?
• How are enterprises approaching security and governance as they adopt AI in the cloud? What new risks are introduced with AI?
• What are modern enterprises doing to derisk AI in the cloud? What is the state of the art in cloud-based AI security?
