Ben is the Head of Financial Services, Insurance and Legal at Orange Cyberdefense UK, where he advises clients of all shapes and sizes on technology risk and how to mitigate their exposure through both technical and non-technical means. AI is a macrotrend that impacts all facets of business and cybersecurity. As our clients have undertaken their AI adoption journey Ben has worked with them to reduce their risk exposure through AI governance, increase awareness of the changing threat landscape, and familiarise themselves with AI use in enterprise and cybersecurity tooling.

Effective AI adoption can lead to gains in productivity, profitability and reduce barriers to entry. This is true for both enterprise organisations and threat actors. Organisations must take AI security and governance seriously to mitigate the substantial risks involved in non-controlled AI adoption, and to familiarise themselves with the increasingly hostile cybersecurity environment in which they operate.
