Summary

The ransomware attack on Evolve Bank & Trust by LockBit exposed vulnerabilities in AI systems, affecting 7.6 million customers and several fintech partners, highlighting the complexity of managing AI in banking. The incident underscores the need for a robust incident-response framework to mitigate risks such as regulatory breaches, privacy violations, and operational failures. Strategies for addressing AI risks include real-time monitoring, multi-layered risk detection, automated incident containment, and comprehensive audit trails. Institutions are encouraged to create cross-functional response teams, design recovery procedures, establish continuous learning, and integrate regulatory compliance mechanisms. These strategies aim to transform AI-related incidents from major threats into manageable issues, ensuring that AI systems are operated with high confidence and compliance in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Galileo's platform exemplifies a comprehensive solution that connects these strategies, enabling financial institutions to maintain reliable and resilient AI operations.
