Your AI initiative gets the green light. But now all the parameters and guardrails you built into your plan need to be executed. Who owns AI once it goes live? Who’s watching as AI use expands? And if the AI workflow fails, can anyone still run the process it replaced?
In this episode, Maria Haight, Global Information Security Officer at Joyson Safety Systems, joins Dustin Childs to unpack the operational realities of AI security. She advocates for preserving human know-how, assigning business ownership, and backing up critical data to keep the business running should an AI system fail or dare we say it, go rogue.
You’ll learn:
Why you need to plan for AI failure before implementation begins
How to keep approved AI initiatives accountable, monitored, and focused on delivering value
What questions to ask LLM providers and security vendors about data use, retention and costs before surprises force a change in strategy
Why stick around:
Get concrete guidance on the critical decisions and safeguards to put in place before implementing AI to protect business continuity.

The “AI trust paradox” in cybersecurity goes like this: organizations invest in AI automation, then hold back from fully implementing it. Yet as attackers continue to use AI to move faster, defenders need to leverage AI to fix things as fast as it finds them.
In traditional IT, isolating a compromised endpoint can stop an attack. In operational technology (OT) environments, that same action could disrupt control of a pipeline, cause a rupture, or trigger environmental damage.
There's no silver bullet when it comes to AI security strategy, and treating one model, tool, or vendor as the answer can limit an organization’s ability to adapt.
Is your organization truly AI native, or did you just bolt AI onto existing infrastructure? Your answer could be an indicator to how much risk you’re carrying without realizing it.
Attackers aren't just using AI to steal data; they're using it to fight back while you investigate them in real time. And once an adversary is inside, why would they ever want to leave? That's the unsettling reality Tom Kellermann, VP of AI Security and Threat Research at TrendAI, lays out in this episode.
