The rise of AI is not all hype and frenzy. There are real implications--for productivity and competitiveness, and for governance and compliance. Every organization will have to evaluate how AI apps impact their business.

We've already reached an untenable state of risk and complexity with the rapid evolution of apps into API-based systems. Adding AI into the mix is like pouring gasoline on an already burning ball of fire. Multi-model and multimodal LLMs along with expanding AI ecosystems drive multicloud architectures--and they're all connected by APIs.

It is imperative that architects and security teams unpack the massive risk surface for AI apps-- and see why AI must be embraced by defenders to tango with adversarial AI that has democratized and supersized attacker arsenals.
