Middle East financial firms prioritise security for AI agents and supply chains IBS Intelligence
The financial services sector in the Middle East faces increased pressure to adopt stringent security measures for AI-powered systems, potentially leading to higher compliance costs but also strengthening customer trust and market stability. This focus on security could also foster innovation in secure AI solutions tailored to the specific needs of the region's financial landscape.
Financial institutions must invest in AI security training for their staff and implement robust validation and monitoring systems for AI agents within their supply chains. They need to develop secure deployment pipelines for AI models and adopt stringent access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access or modification of AI systems. Moreover, operators will need to prepare for potential AI-driven cyberattacks and design resilient recovery plans.
