New AI Security Standard Unveiled: How Cyber Teams Are Driving Business Growth

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into our lives and critical infrastructures, global standards for securing these systems have never been more essential. In a landmark move, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has released a new global standard for securing AI systems, outlining best practices across the AI system’s entire lifecycle. This comes alongside new research proving the rising strategic value of cybersecurity teams in enhancing business outcomes.

ETSI Publishes New Global Standard for AI Security

ETSI’s new framework provides comprehensive guidance for end-to-end security in AI systems, divided across five critical lifecycle stages:

1. Secure Design Stage Emphasizes threat modeling, security-by-design principles, and risk assessments from the earliest concept stages.

2. Secure Development Stage Recommends incorporating secure coding practices, vulnerability scanning, and AI model integrity checks during software development.

3. Secure Deployment Stage Focuses on secure model deployment environments, robust access control, and secure integration into production ecosystems.

4. Secure Maintenance Stage Calls for continuous patching, anomaly detection, model updates, and secure logging mechanisms.

5. Secure End-of-Life Stage Ensures that retired models and software components are thoroughly decommissioned to prevent data leaks and backdoor threats.

This standard is poised to significantly raise the bar for AI system security across global industries.

CISOs Now Key Drivers of Business Value

According to a new report, organizations with proactive Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and cybersecurity teams are increasingly outperforming competitors. Cybersecurity professionals are now seen as strategic partners who:

• Enable faster product development cycles by identifying risks early.

• Reduce costly data breach incidents.

Enhance customer trust and compliance.

Decommissioning Tech Safely: A Growing Need

A new guide on safely retiring outdated technology emphasizes secure data wiping, component recycling, and regulatory compliance. Poor decommissioning practices remain a major vector for data breaches.

FBI Issues Alert on ‘Silent Ransom’ Targeting Law Firms

The FBI has warned U.S. law firms about “Silent Ransom” attacks, where threat actors exfiltrate sensitive data without encrypting systems—making detection harder and pressure for ransom even stronger. Cybersecurity vigilance and endpoint monitoring are key defences.

 Updated CIS Benchmarks Released

CIS has published new security benchmarks for:

• Kubernetes

• Microsoft 365

Red Hat Enterprise Linux These guides help organizations harden systems based on industry-proven best practices and reduce their threat surface.
