MillenniumIT ESP, in collaboration with TrendAI and Plexus Global Pvt Ltd, recently hosted the 'Cyber Risk Exposure Management & AI Security: Executive Briefing', bringing together customers and industry experts.
The session kicked off with welcome remarks by Roshan de Silva, CRO, MillenniumIT ESP, setting the context around cyber risk, AI security and the evolving threat landscape.
Mohammed Hayat, Sales Engineer from TrendAI, led a deeper dive into Cyber Risk Exposure Management and AI Security. The collaborative discussion unpacked why the industry must move beyond traditional, point-in-time vulnerability management, focusing on two critical takeaways:
- The Shift to Cyber Risk Exposure Management: Today, organisations are drowning in thousands of CVEs with no reliable way to identify which ones actually threaten the business. Rather than asking "how many vulnerabilities do we have?", businesses must ask, "which exposures give an attacker a genuine path to our crown jewels, and how do we close them first?" This requires continuously discovering the full attack surface across cloud workloads, identities, SaaS, APIs, and unmanaged assets and prioritising exposures based on real exploitability, attack-path reachability, and asset criticality.
- AI Security as an Organisation Level Concern: AI adoption introduces an entirely new attack surface, including shadow AI usage, prompt injection, sensitive data leakage through LLMs, and model supply chain risks. Further, adversaries are already weaponising AI to accelerate reconnaissance, craft convincing phishing campaigns, and shorten the time between a vulnerability's disclosure and its active exploitation. Ultimately, managing exposure and securing AI are two sides of the same strategy: shrinking the window and surface area an attacker can act on.
The briefing concluded with a vote of thanks from Ravindu Nanayakkara, Business Development Manager โ Cybersecurity at MillenniumIT ESP, followed by an engaging networking session.
Thank you to the TrendAI and Plexus teams, and to all our customers who joined us at our head office for an insightful evening.
