Paramount to address AI cybersecurity challenges at Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit - Middle East News 247

Pradeep Menon, Senior Director at Paramount and an industry expert, will lead a session 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

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