In this subscriber-exclusive roundtable discussion, HBR invited experts Daniel Dobrygowski of Sophos and Keri Pearlson of MIT Sloan to explore how AI is reshaping cyber risk and how organizations can prepare for evolving threats. AI is making attacks faster and more scalable while introducing new risks around AI agents, permissions, model manipulation, and data security. For leaders, the discussion underscored that cybersecurity is a business risk, not simply an IT responsibility, requiring investments aligned with operational, financial, and strategic priorities. Organizations should also prioritize resilience, including practicing how they will respond, recover, communicate, and maintain critical operations during an incident. For organizations with limited resources, the emphasis was on getting fundamentals such as identity and access management and critical-data protection right first, then drawing on trusted external partners to extend their capabilities.
