Head of AI Security Roles Surge in Large Organizations

The article defines the group as organisations with annual revenue of $10bn or more. The data is presented as a single snapshot, and no survey methodology is described in the excerpt. The report is headlined 'Head of AI Security Roles Surge in Large Organizations.'

Within that group, the figures split by how the role is structured. Around a fifth of the firms have made head of AI security a dedicated position — a standalone post rather than an additional responsibility. A further 47% combined the role with another leadership role. That dedicated-versus-combined distinction is the only breakdown of the position given. The 47% figure and the approximate fifth sum to slightly more than 65%; the report describes the dedicated share as 'around a fifth,' which accounts for part of the gap.

The $10bn revenue threshold means the data covers only the largest organisations, and the excerpt does not state how many firms were surveyed or which sectors they operate in. It does not name the other leadership roles with which AI security was combined, and it does not give the prior-year figures behind the word 'surge' in the headline.
