AI is reshaping industries, but organizations are at different stages in their AI governance journey. Some are centralizing AI projects, others are working to get ahead of generative AI requests, while many are focused on creating a robust data foundation. Few organizations have built a well-oiled AI factory that classifies, profiles, and certifies AI data while generating transformative insights. However, a clear intent to define AI strategies and improve data governance is emerging among data leaders.

The cloud has revolutionized modern business, offering unmatched scalability, agility, and cost efficiency. However, this transformation comes with significant security challenges, expanding the attack surface and introducing new risks. To navigate this evolving landscape, organizations must adopt a deep understanding of cloud security principles and best practices. The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) provides valuable resources to help organizations secure their cloud environments effectively.
