Paramount to address AI cybersecurity challenges at Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit - Dubai Magazine
As AI’s role increases in both consumer and enterprise environments, its rapid advancement

presents both opportunities and challenges. With cyberattacks growing in frequency and

sophistication, AI introduces new layers of complexity, making security a critical concern for

businesses.

Being one of the leading cybersecurity events in the Middle East region, the summit serves as

a platform for Paramount to showcase its expertise in secure AI frameworks for businesses,

aiding them in using AI effectively for mitigating threats and protecting AI models from getting

poisoned. During its participation, the company will guide enterprises in implementing

practical security frameworks, establishing robust cybersecurity guardrails and utilising AI

responsibly against emerging threats.

titled ‘Tips to Sail Through AI Turbulence’, during which he will address critical AI-related risks

such as ethical governance, AI-ready cybersecurity frameworks and strategies for transforming

AI’s potential to attain real-world results. The session will enable business leaders to balance

innovation with compliance while ensuring effective risk mitigation.

Premchand Kurup, CEO at Paramount, said: “For the past 25 years, we have been closely

monitoring cybersecurity trends to support our customers in the Middle East. Undoubtedly, AI

security professionals. AI-driven attacks, data privacy concerns, and legal and regulatory

He added: “To effectively manage these risks, AI adoption must follow a structured,

programmatic approach within a well-defined framework. This requires a four-pillar AI

framework that includes AI governance, AI security, AI-driven cybersecurity and data and

integration security. Our participation at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit

will help us raise awareness about these critical challenges and guide businesses toward the
