Illustrative product stack

AI Security & Governance Stack

Staff may use public AI tools with business information, while AI-enabled applications and agents can connect to data sources or take actions. Organisations need visibility and practical guardrails without assuming every AI feature is inherently unsafe.

This page shows possible product roles and alternatives, not a fixed bill of materials. Final selection depends on your existing infrastructure, risk profile, budget, licences, technical requirements and compatibility.

The business problem

Why this security area matters

An AI security stack may combine use discovery, identity, data protection, application testing and governance. Product capability changes quickly; confirm exact supported services, tenant settings and licensing before associating a product with a specific use case.

How organisations become exposed

Sensitive data may be shared inappropriately, an agent may have excessive permissions, or an AI application may be vulnerable to manipulation. Controls reduce defined risks but cannot eliminate all AI-related exposure.

Who should consider this stack?

Organisations adopting generative AI, building AI applications, connecting agents to business systems or governing use of sensitive data in AI services.

How to compare options

  • • Compatibility with existing infrastructure and licences.
  • • Security requirements, coverage and integration needs.
  • • Operational overhead, alert ownership and support requirements.
  • • Implementation effort and budget, confirmed in a tailored proposal.

How the stack works together

From visibility to continuous improvement

  1. 01Inventory AI services, applications, agents, users and data access.
  2. 02Clarify approved use, data categories, ownership and third-party terms.
  3. 03Apply existing identity and data controls; review whether additional platform controls address a defined gap.
  4. 04Test AI applications and agents only under separately agreed scope and method.
  5. 05Review changes as models, connectors, permissions and business uses evolve.

Example architecture to assess

Start with AI-use discovery, policy, identity and data governance in tools the organisation already has. Validate any AI-specific product claims with current official documentation. Consider Check Point’s published AI portfolio only after confirming exact product, availability and fit. Do not deploy multiple AI security platforms by default.

Alternatives and optional layers

Microsoft and Check Point have published AI-security-related capabilities; individual features depend on product and licence. Netskope and Palo Alto options are potential market references only and are not confirmed AOS offerings.

How AOS can help

Advice, scope and delivery boundaries

AOS’s stated service capability includes securing AI usage, AI applications and AI agents, including AI red teaming. Specific testing methods, supported systems, deliverables, access needs and commercial scope must be agreed. Legal and privacy advice remains with qualified advisers.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Can one product govern all AI usage?

Not necessarily. Coverage depends on how AI is accessed, platform support, user identity, data paths and product configuration.

Is AI red teaming included in the free review?

No. The free 30-minute cybersecurity review is a conversation with a Red/Amber/Green score and prioritised fixes; AI red teaming is separately scoped.

Can AI risks be eliminated?

No. Controls can reduce specific risks, but AI systems, data, permissions and threats change over time.
