When Company Goes Crazy About AI: A Practical Survival Guide
Speakers IS2 2026
Martin Markovič
The lecture examines specific steps for integrating AI into existing Security Governance in a corporate environment, during growing popularity of generative AI. In the first step, we will explore the approach from the perspective of the average corporate user: setting internal rules and defining responsibilities, performing awareness campaigns, analyzing existing AI tools and defining recommended ones (including usage rules) and deploying control mechanisms. In the second part, we will cover the approach from the viewpoint of the internal initiative owner aiming to implement AI elements in new or existing systems or processes. We will present the risk assessment process according to the EU AI Act/NIST, including the methodology for applying specific risk factors, defining system implementation requirements and related subsequent processes, while briefly touching on specific technical requirements. The outcome will be ready to use practical advice to help participants effectively manage the increasing demands for AI implementation in their own environment.
