Artificial Intelligence Transforms the Notion of Reliance, According to NinjaOne Executive
In an increasingly AI-driven world, new opportunities and risks are emerging that leaders didn't have to consider just a few years ago. Mike Arrowsmith, Chief Trust Officer at NinjaOne, is at the forefront of navigating these uncharted waters.
Arrowsmith ensures that NinjaOne's products are built with a focus on the trust customers place in them to keep them secure. He believes that the 'Wild Wild West' days of AI deployment will gradually become a thing of the past due to increased regulatory work and awareness.
The trust ecosystem between NinjaOne and its partners and customers is paramount to maintain. Arrowsmith emphasizes the importance of understanding an organization's risk posture, including what they are willing to tolerate and what they must secure.
AI can be a beneficial tool for productivity, but it also presents significant risks that companies need to consider. Arrowsmith predicts an increase in regulatory actions aimed at ensuring AI is deployed securely. He suggests that organizations can address best practices internally without waiting for laws to do so, by adopting a trust-first approach similar to NinjaOne's throughout the c-suite.
Open communication and transparency between various departments, such as security, IT, legal, finance, etc., are crucial for corporate success, according to Arrowsmith. He describes his role as a security-focused CIO, weaving trust into every decision made across product and internal operations.
Arrowsmith foresees the leadership model of a Chief Executive dedicated to trust as the next evolution of security leadership. He anticipates the need for a dedicated chief executive focused on trust to grow over time. In fact, companies like T-Systems in Germany are already introducing new executive roles related to trust and sovereignty, such as the Chief Sovereignty Officer, which could be analogous to or evolve into the role of Chief Trust Officer in the near future.
Despite more people talking about security than ever before, many still do not approach every facet of their business with risk foundational to their approach. Arrowsmith's role includes data and risk management, as well as overseeing various attack vectors for NinjaOne. He believes that the role of a CIO might eventually become obsolete, replaced by a more holistic approach that prioritizes trust and security.
In conclusion, Arrowsmith's vision for a trust-centric approach to business is a crucial step towards navigating the complex world of AI and cybersecurity. As AI continues to reshape the landscape of technology, the role of the Chief Trust Officer is likely to become more common and increasingly vital.
