Full transparency in AI can backfire says SAPs Chief AI Security Officer

AI Security
Cybersecurity
Trust By Design

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes deeply embedded in critical infrastructure, ranging from finance to healthcare, the cybersecurity industry is facing a significant transformation. New risks are emerging, driven by the rapid evolution of AI systems, and organisations are being forced to rethink how they secure digital environments.

As AI integrates into critical infrastructure—finance, healthcare, and national security—cybersecurity faces a paradigm shift. SAP’s Chief AI Security Officer, Sudhakar Singh, highlights emerging risks and the need for robust safeguards like AI "kill switches" and layered fail-safes.

Key Insights from SAP’s AI Security Approach

  1. AI Kill Switches & Governance
    Singh advocates for layered fail-safes in AI systems, including automated shutdowns triggered by risk thresholds, rather than relying on a single manual override. Authority should be shared among regulators, enterprise security teams, and governance frameworks to prevent misuse.

  2. The Balancing Act of Explainable AI
    While explainability builds trust, full transparency can expose vulnerabilities. For example, detailing AI-driven anomaly detection methods might aid attackers in evading safeguards. SAP emphasizes context-aware explainability—providing enough insight for compliance while protecting system integrity.

  3. Securing AI Agents
    AI agents introduce risks like data leaks and adversarial attacks. SAP mitigates these through strict access controls, encrypted communication, and real-time monitoring. The AI-powered assistant Joule exemplifies this, operating within SAP’s secure cloud environment.

  4. Open-Source AI Risks
    Open-source models require rigorous vetting for biases, vulnerabilities, and compliance. SAP enforces prompt moderation, data access controls, and hosts models in secure environments to limit exposure.

  5. Industries Benefiting from Trust by Design
    Finance, healthcare, and public sectors—where regulatory compliance is critical—gain the most from embedding security into AI from the outset. Examples include fraud detection and predictive analytics.

  6. Cybersecurity Jobs in the AI Era
    Singh predicts a surge in roles focused on AI risk management, adversarial testing, and secure deployment. The intersection of AI and cybersecurity will drive demand for professionals with hybrid expertise.

"The overlap between AI and cybersecurity will define the next stage of digital resilience"—Sudhakar Singh, SAP.
