When a team considers an AI tool, it needs a practical way to document what could go wrong, how serious those risks might be, and what requires further review. AI can help create that starting point, but a convincing draft can still contain gaps and unsupported assumptions.
Join Ken Underhill, writer of the Cybersecurity Insider newsletter, and host Faithe J. Day, PhD, for a demonstration of building an AI-assisted risk register. Using a fictional healthcare scenario, Ken shows how the amount and quality of context provided to ChatGPT changes the risk register it produces. He also explains how to review the results, question vendor claims, and prepare for conversations with business, IT, and security leaders.
