BRIEF
How Financial Services CISOs Manage Risk and Resilience in the AI Era
How does a CISO define a secure AI strategy for financial services, where trust is earned and regulation is constant? Financial services security leaders start with AI governance and AI-driven risks, while evaluating how AI can strengthen their security functions. Understanding AI’s role is only part of the challenge as CISO responsibilities continue to expand.
In a global survey of 650 CISOs, financial services respondents revealed that:
- 95% are responsible for AI governance and risk management
- 87% say AI helps teams to review more security events
- 36% admit they can’t directly correlate ROI to risk mitigation and remediation activities
- 18% have fully or partially adopted agentic AI for the security function
