  • Enforce least privilege, implement AI Guardrails, and use real-time monitoring and anomaly detection for high-risk AI tasks.
  • Ransomware is shifting to quadruple extortion; organizations should secure backups and follow a phased incident response plan.
  • Continuous cloud monitoring with CNAPP, universal MFA, and action-based access controls are recommended to prevent misconfigurations and unauthorized access.
