Governing AI with Zero Trust
Published on March 05, 2025
Technology has advanced at an unprecedented pace, transforming the way we live, work, and connect. But with great progress comes great responsibility—especially when it comes to securing artificial intelligence (AI). In this episode of the ManageEngine Insights podcast, host Debanjali Ghosh sits down with cybersecurity expert Dr. Chase Cunningham, widely known as the Doctor of Zero Trust, to explore the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and responsible governance.
AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, but it also introduces new risks. What happens when AI systems go rogue, get compromised, or misinterpret their roles? How can Zero Trust principles help organizations secure AI-driven environments? Dr. Cunningham breaks down these critical issues and shares practical strategies for implementing robust security frameworks in an AI-powered world.
