The industry treats AI security like a futuristic problem to be solved. The actual problem is enabling teams to use AI securely at the speed they operate.
Strong security programs succeed through enablement more than restriction. The difference is listening well and rapidly providing a secure path forward.
This requires people, processes, and tooling that prioritize good service and the needs of other teams. Without foundations to support speed, good intentions become gatekeeping and that gatekeeping increases security risk through lack of engagement and adoption.
Today, the success of a security program can be measured by whether they meet team needs at the speed those teams operate. AI just separates good security programs from legacy ones.
