Why CISOs should care
Civic AI infrastructure involves sensitive citizen data and critical services. Security, privacy, and compliance measures must be prioritized as platforms scale and integrate with legacy systems.
3 practical actions:
- Implement privacy-by-design: Build security into AI systems from the start.
- Conduct risk assessments: Align systems with local and international data protection standards.
- Engage cross-functional teams: Ensure secure integration with public and legacy systems.
