Why Is Your CEO's AI Dream Your CISO's Nightmare?

Alvin Gan, Head of Technology Consulting, KPMG in Malaysia

Why Is Your CEO's AI Dream Your CISO's Nightmare?

While CEOs are bullish on GenAI, nearly half of their security leaders see a nightmare of unclear policies, massive skills gaps, and huge security risks. This C-suite disconnect is one of the biggest hurdles to safe and effective AI adoption in the enterprise.

Alvin Gan, Head of Technology Consulting at KPMG in Malaysia, unpacks this critical disconnect and provides a roadmap for alignment. He breaks down the real-world risks of GenAI, from proprietary data leaks to legacy infrastructure, and shares a practical framework for building a robust AI policy.

We discuss:

  • The "CEO vs. CISO" disconnect and why leaders see Gen AI differently.

  • The biggest risks of enterprise AI, from IP leaks to data bias.

  • How CISOs can communicate security in business terms to get CEO buy-in.

  • The key components of a robust enterprise Gen AI policy.

  • Why AI governance is a "seatbelt, not a brake" for innovation.

    For CEOs, CISOs, and any leader navigating the complexities of enterprise AI, this conversation aims to bridge the gap between ambition and security.
