🚨JP Morgan’s AI Security Warning: A Call to Action for All Financial Institutions

JPMorgan Chase just sounded the alarm.

In an open letter to their third-party suppliers, they made one thing clear: the AI arms race has outpaced our ability to secure it. Their internal review revealed:

78% of enterprise AI deployments lack basic security controls

Most vendors can’t explain how their AI models make decisions

Security vulnerabilities have tripled since mass AI adoption began.

📌 The Bottom Line

You can’t secure what you can’t see.

You can’t govern what you don’t understand.

You can’t claim resilience if you ignore your AI exposure.

Regulators are watching. Your board is asking. Your customers are trusting.

As Pat Opet, JP Morgan’s CTO, put it:

“We’re seeing organizations deploy systems they fundamentally don’t understand.”

The financial sector is particularly exposed. AI is being embedded into customer support, risk analysis, fraud detection, trading algorithms — often via third- and fourth-party providers. Many of those providers are innovating fast... but without governance.

This is no longer a technology issue. It’s an operational resilience risk. A regulatory risk. A reputational risk.

🧭 What This Means for You

Your third-party and fourth-party vendors are adopting AI at pace. But do you know:

Which of your critical suppliers are using AI to support your services?

Whether they’ve implemented AI governance frameworks?

If their models are exposed to data poisoning, adversarial attacks, or exfiltration risks?

If you don’t have that visibility, neither will your regulators.
