Why Every CISO Needs to Read the AWS Generative AI Security Scoping Matrix

GenAI is the New Attack Surface — Are You Ready?

Generative AI (GenAI) is now officially past the hype stage and entered the “what can we practically do” phase

Whether you like GenAI or not — it’s here, and it’s transforming industries at an unprecedented pace.

As enterprises rush to adopt tools like ChatGPT, Amazon Bedrock, and MidJourney, the security landscape is shifting dramatically.

By 2026, Gartner predicts that over 80% of enterprises will have deployed GenAI-enabled applications — a staggering leap from less than 5% in 2023.

But with great innovation comes great security risk.

GenAI introduces a new attack surface, and traditional cybersecurity controls are no longer enough to secure it.

CISOs no longer have the option of saying no to GenAI

The problem ?

Traditional security models are built around protecting environments like servers, applications, data centers.
