About Enterprise security

As enterprises move from pilots to everyday use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), security has become a boardroom priority. Tools such as ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude and Google Gemini are now used for coding, research, customer support, legal review, marketing and analytics, widening both opportunity and exposure.
 
The risks go beyond conventional software vulnerabilities. Data leakage, prompt-injection attacks, unsafe retrieval, weak access controls and AI-assisted cyber threats arise from the way large language models interpret instructions, draw on context and generate responses.
 
Business Standard’s Enterprise Security coverage looks at how companies, regulators and technology providers are responding: From governance frameworks and vendor controls to cyber-resilience, privacy, compliance and the evolving economics of securing AI-led transformation.
