Frontier AI Readiness for Government: Securing Adoption, Managing Shadow AI, and Protecting Public Trust
Government leaders are being asked to accelerate AI adoption, but security, visibility, data protection, and accountability are not keeping pace.
This executive roundtable, hosted by CrowdStrike and co-chaired with senior Victorian Government leaders, will explore how frontier and shadow AI are reshaping government risk, and how agencies can regain visibility, control, and readiness.
Attendees will leave with peer insights and a practical Frontier AI Readiness Framework to help move from AI policy to operational control.
Key Discussion Points:
- Frontline perspectives on how AI is changing the security operating model: Insights from CrowdStrike’s engineering and threat intelligence lens on how adversaries are using AI to accelerate attacks, increase complexity, and challenge traditional detection and response models.
- Frontier AI: preparing for AI‑driven attacks: Assess real exposure across AI systems and data flows (what’s reachable, exploitable, and business‑critical), prioritise controls, and shift from reactive defence to machine‑speed resilience.
- Shadow AI: securing adoption without slowing innovation: Regain visibility and control of unsanctioned AI use, safeguard sensitive data in AI interactions, and apply governance that enables safe adoption at scale, across sanctioned and unsanctioned tools.
- Operationalise readiness (30/60/90): Translate the discussion into a practical (five-step) readiness framework and 30/60/90 roadmap, so teams can move faster with AI without sacrificing visibility, control, or security.
