Looking to scale AI adoption in your organisation? Don't let security be an afterthought. Our new training solution, AI: Balancing Speed & Safety, is designed to help your teams build security directly into their AI workflows and decision-making. In the words of our Cyber Portfolio Director, Richard Beck: "AI transformations often fail - not because of the technology, but because people don't trust it, don't understand it, or fear losing control. What's needed is confidence in AI, clear governance, proportionate security, and upskilling at every level." This solution provides expert-led courses, simulations, and self-paced content to give cross-functional teams the practical skills they need for secure, scalable AI adoption.
