Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organizations operate, innovate, and compete. But as adoption accelerates, so do the risks. From model manipulation to regulatory non-compliance, securing AI has become an urgent necessity. Businesses need AI security solutions that address modern threats without disrupting existing systems.

In a recent webinar, “Security for AI: Safeguarding the Future with Cygeniq,” cybersecurity leaders Manish Dev and Prasenjit Saha broke down the current landscape of AI cybersecurity challenges and introduced Cygeniq’s purpose-built platform designed to protect AI applications across industries.

The Rising Urgency for AI Security

A key insight from the session: 86% of Fortune 2000 companies are already running at least one AI application. However, many of these implementations lack a structured approach to AI risk management, leaving organizations vulnerable to evolving threats, governance failures, and potential financial penalties.

If not addressed, unsecured AI can lead to:

  • Adversarial model manipulation
  • Biased or toxic AI outputs
  • Exposure to data breaches
  • Non-compliance with AI regulations

Understanding the Core AI Security Challenges: The Three Towers

Cygeniq classifies the AI security landscape into three core categories:

1. AI Threats

AI models are exposed to new attack surfaces that traditional tools cannot handle. These include:

  • Prompt injection attacks that alter the behavior of language models
  • Hallucinations that generate false responses
  • Model drift and inference attacks during runtime
  • Data poisoning and sensitive output leakage

Over 150,000 threat variants have been recorded within the last 18 months, highlighting the need for dedicated AI security solutions.

2. AI Regulations

More than 47 countries now have specific AI regulations in place. These regulations focus on fairness, accountability, transparency, and responsible usage. Yet, most organizations are still adapting their internal controls to keep up.

Global variations in law—such as the EU AI Act, Canada’s AI and Data Act, and Singapore’s PDPA updates—make regulatory alignment a key part of AI risk management.

3. AI-Driven Cyberattacks

AI is not just a target; it’s also being used offensively. AI-driven cyberattacks can:

  • Bypass traditional firewalls and detection systems
  • Launch polymorphic malware at machine speed
  • Exploit LLMs for social engineering (phishing, smishing, vishing)
  • Leaking confidential data through poor output controls

Why Traditional Cybersecurity Tools Fall Short

While tools like SIEMs, EDRs, and legacy GRC platforms are essential, they lack AI-specific protection. Most are not equipped to:

  • Detect LLM-specific threats
  • Validate model output or behavior
  • Support GenAI governance
  • Align with evolving AI laws

This is why many organizations now seek AI cybersecurity solutions that are AI-native—not just AI-compatible.
