Nithin Ramachandran, the global vice president for data and AI at 3M, emphasizes that the landscape of security is becoming increasingly complex, particularly in the face of generative AI technologies. He notes that the experience gained from integrating generative AI has led the company to reassess their approach to security. “With every tool we deploy, we look not just at its functionality but also its security posture,” he states. This shift suggests that security considerations are becoming a primary focus for organizations when evaluating new technologies.
A survey involving 800 technology executives, including 100 chief information security officers, conducted in June 2025, reflects the ongoing challenges organizations face in balancing functionality and security. This raises the question of how other companies manage this balance and what measures they take to enhance their security frameworks in the age of advanced technologies.
For further insights into this topic, a report detailing the findings of the survey is available for download.
