Cyber and Fraud Centre - Scotland Equips Boards for the Age of Ai - Cyber and Fraud Centre

Artificial intelligence (Ai) is no longer a future consideration for business leaders, it’s already reshaping how organisations operate, make decisions and manage risks.

To help senior leaders navigate this changing landscape, we have introduced a dedicated Ai session to our well-established Cyber Executive Education Programme. Cyber Executive Education is designed for CEOs, Directors and Non-Executive Directors, providing practical guidance on cyber security, resilience and governance. Existing sessions cover topics including legal and regulatory responsibilities, cyber threat intelligence, crisis communication and incident response.

The new Ai-focused session follows feedback from programme participants who highlighted growing concerns around the impact of Ai on organisational risk. As Ai-related cyber incidents continue to make headlines, leaders face increasing pressure to understand both the opportunities and risks associated with these technologies.

Data and Ai: the Sword and the Shield

Delivered by data and analytics experts Kallidin, the new session explores the dual role Ai plays within organisations. Drawing on real-world executive experience, the session examines:

Practical applications of Ai in business.
Emerging cyber and fraud risks linked to Ai adoption.
Data governance considerations.
Supply chain implications.
How leaders can implement Ai responsibly and securely.

The session aims to provide balanced, practical guidance that helps organisations make informed decisions rather than getting lost in competing opinions and hype.

Jude McCorry, CEO of the Cyber and Fraud Centre – Scotland, said:

“Ai is rapidly changing the way organisations operate, creating significant opportunities for innovation and growth. However, it is also introducing new risks that boards and senior leadership teams cannot afford to ignore.
Feedback from our previous Executive Education attendees was clear, they want balanced guidance on Ai that cuts through the noise. Our new session will help leaders understand both the opportunities and threats, while reinforcing that the foundations of good cyber security remain just as important as ever.”

Helping Leaders Build Confidence

Kallidin was established to address one of the biggest barriers to successful Ai adoption – stalled enterprise deployments. Through its Ai Enablement Consulting services and Autonomous Data Office platform, the company helps organisations identify and remove data bottlenecks to achieve meaningful business outcomes.

John Brodie, Founder and CEO or Kallidin, said:

“For boards and executive teams, the question is no longer whether Ai will reshape their organisation, it’s whether they will lead that change or be forced to react to it.”
