The timeline is not years, it is months.<\/p>\n<p>In this environment, cyber resilience is integral to advancing business continuity, market confidence, and long-term value. We urge leaders to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>understand and assess risk, readiness and accountability<\/li>\n<li>prioritize foundational cyber security practices and controls<\/li>\n<li>empower cyber leaders with authority and resources<\/li>\n<li>stay actively engaged as threats and guidance evolve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Success will come from getting the basics right, acting quickly, and integrating cyber security into core business strategy. Those that do not will face growing operational and strategic disadvantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What key legal, compliance and governance considerations arise from the Five Eyes statement and associated developments?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>My expectation is that company information security teams are already engaged in enhancing security controls and the overall security program in response to AI cyber risks and opportunities. Business and legal\/compliance leaders should also focus on the Five Eyes admonition that these issues require a &#8220;whole-of-organization&#8221; response. Several of the key elements that should be addressed from a legal, compliance and business perspective&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iapp.org\/news\/a\/thought-for-the-week-five-eyes-call-to-action-for-business-leaders-on-ai-driven-cyber-risk\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thought for the week: Five Eyes call to action for business leaders on AI-driven cyber&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":283653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.contentstack.io\/v3\/assets\/bltd4dd5b2d705252bc\/bltc99cd741b2c15b04\/6a427bad567d0d7029e7cc26\/yellow-green-wave-lines-abstract-0027.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-283652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283654,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283652\/revisions\/283654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
