Keywords:
Enterprise GRC , Risk Management ,Corporate Governance , Security Operations , Autonomous AI , Explainable AI , Agent-Based Modelling , Data Center Security , Global Data Protection , Regulatory Compliance.Abstract
The Future of Enterprise Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) will be supported by Autonomous, Explainable, and Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) research efforts within Security and Safety Hubs. The need for continuous Security and Compliance Monitoring and Incident Response Management is urgent in Global and Multinational Enterprises – including the related partners, vendors, and suppliers in Supply Chains. These Operations need to keep up with technological evolution, Security Threats and Exploits, Fugitive Software, and Vulnerability exploitations. AI can play a major role in providing always-on 24/7/365 coverage at all layers of Security Architectures – IT, IIOT, OT, Cloud Services, OT, and Physical Security. The implementation of Ground Rules, Frameworks, and Ethical considerations. for responsible AI usage in enterprises will enable rapid deployment without a major oversight component.
Emerging trends in Enterprise GRC are actively addressing the following three key requirements: The decision making and operation of more advanced AI components including agent models, AI OS and AI Safety needing to be trustworthy, reliable and safe; automating possible unsafe, unwarranted and undesired behavior in these components; and enabling global, regional and country-local GRC AI coverage. The first requirement is mainly targeted by Advances in Explainable AI and in Safety Mechanisms and Control Architectures, the second requirement by the assessment of various facets of Autonomy – and the third requirement by the application domain of Data Centers.
