Threat Assessment

Threat assessment in AI governance refers to the systematic evaluation of potential risks, vulnerabilities, and adverse outcomes associated with AI system deployment across an organization. This process identifies both technical risks like model failures and adversarial attacks, as well as broader operational and compliance risks that could impact business continuity. Enterprises conduct threat assessments to prioritize mitigation strategies, allocate security resources effectively, and demonstrate due diligence to regulators and stakeholders.
