Aysha's AI Philosophy

Aysha Khan

CIO & CISO, Treasure Data

"As we face unprecedented digital acceleration, the real question isn't how businesses can afford to invest in AI, but how they can afford not to. AI is the key to unlocking innovation, streamlining operations, and future-proofing your organization." Source

“We have to secure our products right from the beginning, not as an afterthought. When we approach our products with the idea that 'trust is crucial and security sets us apart, we not only protect our company but also boost our competitiveness in the market.” Source

“The winning platforms will be the ones that are enabled to protect AI systems and defend against AI attacks and that's where I want to be.” Source
