Over half (56%) of IT and cybersecurity professionals have no idea how quickly they could shut down AI systems affected by a cyber-attack or security incident, new research by ISACA has found.<\/p>\n

Published on 23 March by the global certification body, the research is based on a survey of over 3400 security and digital professionals.<\/p>\n

Just under a third of respondents (32%) said that they believed they could halt potentially compromised AI systems within an hour, while 7% said they thought it would take over an hour.<\/p>\n

Confusion Over Enterprise AI Ownership Raises Security and Governance Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Part of the issue stems from confusion over who is responsible for managing enterprise AI applications. A fifth (20%) of survey respondents said they didn\u2019t know who was accountable for AI apps.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 28% of those surveyed said managing AI was the responsibility of board level executives, 18% said it was the responsibility of the CIO or CTO, while 13% said it is the responsibility to their CISO.<\/p>\n

No matter where responsibility lies, under half (43%) of security professionals surveyed said they have high confidence in their organization\u2019s ability to investigate a serious AI incident and explain what happened to leadership or regulators.<\/p>\n

Just over a quarter (27%) said they had little to no confidence in their organization\u2019s ability to do so.<\/p>\n

According to the ISACA research, many security professionals believe that their organization would struggle to identify a potential security issue related to AI, due to a lack of human oversight of systems.<\/p>\n

Only 36% of those surveyed said that humans must approve most AI actions before they happen within their organization. A further 26% said AI activity was only reviewed after the action has taken place.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 11% said AI actions are only reviewed in the event of specifically flagged activity and 20% said they did not know what role humans played in overseeing decisions made by AI at their organization.<\/p>\n
