Punti di forza
- L’adozione dell’intelligenza artificiale sta accelerando, contribuendo a rendere i dipendenti più efficienti, produttivi e competitivi.
- Le organizzazioni hanno bisogno di una governance e di linee guida per adottare l’intelligenza artificiale in modo responsabile e su larga scala.
- Security and productivity don’t have to compete – they can reinforce one another.
- AI will become one of security’s most valuable tools for managing cyber risks.
- L’adozione dell’intelligenza artificiale funziona al meglio quando innovazione e sicurezza procedono di pari passo.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about the Pronti. O no.La particolarità di questa serie è che ogni conversazione si basa su quella precedente. Abbiamo iniziato esplorando le opportunità e i rischi dell’IA agentica. Abbiamo poi esaminato come le organizzazioni possano instaurare un clima di fiducia man mano che l’IA diventa parte integrante delle attività quotidiane. Questo episodio affronta la domanda logica che ne consegue: come possiamo utilizzare l’IA in modo sicuro?
Comedian Nathan Macintosh sits down with Rinki Sethi, CISO and CSO at Upwind Security, for a conversation about what responsible AI adoption actually looks like. They cover everything from AI governance and guardrails to user experience and the growing role AI will play in cybersecurity.
Nathan continues to ask the questions many of us are wondering. Should we be worried? How much more productive do we need to be? And can AI actually make security better?

What I appreciated most about this conversation is that Rinki is genuinely excited about new technology and protecting it. She didn’t frame AI as something organizations need to worry about. Instead, she focused on encouraging businesses to move forward with confidence by putting the right guardrails in place. Here are the ideas that stayed with me.
La spinta verso l’adozione dell’intelligenza artificiale
One thing that becomes clear from the conversation is that many organizations aren’t only encouraging their employees to adopt AI – they’re mandating it. These companies recognize that using AI helps people solve problems more efficiently, which is essential for staying competitive.
“Every single company has a mandate … we’ve got to use AI everywhere in the company.”
– Rinki Sethi
La questione non è più se l’intelligenza artificiale debba trovare spazio sul posto di lavoro, ma se i dipendenti dispongano delle giuste misure di sicurezza per utilizzarla in modo responsabile. Con l’accelerarsi dell’adozione dell’intelligenza artificiale, le organizzazioni hanno bisogno di standard chiari che definiscano quali strumenti di intelligenza artificiale i dipendenti possano utilizzare e in che modo vengano protetti i dati aziendali.
Anteprima: Governance dell’IA
Rinki explains that governance isn’t just about protecting against new risks. It’s about creating a framework that helps employees use AI responsibly while keeping pace with evolving regulations and industry standards.
Il vantaggio nascosto della produttività
Here’s something I never thought about before. Rinki explains that AI isn’t simply helping people work faster. In many cases, it’s leaving room for the highest-performing employees to excel.
She used software developers as an example. When AI-powered coding assistants became available, many assumed they’d only help less experienced developers. Instead, some of the best engineers began using them to move faster. They were able to solve more complex problems and spend more time on creative work rather than repetitive tasks.
That kind of productivity is exactly why organizations are mandating AI. It doesn’t limit what people can do – it helps give them more space to focus on higher-value work.
“You can be way more creative with how you’re doing things … cause you’re creating the space for that.”
– Rinki Sethi
AI’s Role in Cybersecurity
“How can AI be used to help with security and not be just looked at as a demon thing that’s here to take us out?”
– Nathan Macintosh
When we talk about AI and security, the conversation is often focused on risk. But Rinki believes that AI will become one of cybersecurity’s greatest advantages.
Security teams are already overwhelmed by the volume of alerts, logs, and data they need to investigate every day. Human analysts simply can’t keep up. Rather than replacing security professionals, AI assists them by filtering through massive amounts of data in seconds. This helps analysts identify false positives so they can focus on investigating real threats.
My takeaway is that the future of cybersecurity isn’t about people versus AI – it’s about people working alongside AI to help make better decisions, respond faster, and scale their operations in ways that weren’t possible before.
Ready for What’s Next?
Ogni episodio diPronti. O no. has reminded me that the biggest AI conversations are often about people – how we adapt, how we learn, and how we build the confidence to use new technology responsibly. The real opportunity for organizations isn’t just adopting AI. It’s creating an environment where employees can use AI to work smarter, become more creative, and deliver better outcomes for the business.

Domande frequenti
D: Perché le organizzazioni stanno adottando l’intelligenza artificiale così rapidamente?
R:Molte organizzazioni considerano l’intelligenza artificiale uno strumento utile per migliorare la produttività, aumentare l’efficienza e consentire ai dipendenti di dedicare più tempo ad attività di maggior valore.
D: Che cos’è la governance dell’IA?
R:La governance dell’IA è l’insieme di politiche, processi e meccanismi di controllo che aiuta le organizzazioni ad adottare l’IA in modo responsabile, gestendo al contempo i rischi legati alla sicurezza, alla privacy e alla conformità.
D: Perché l’esperienza utente è importante per la sicurezza?
R:I controlli di sicurezza che creano ostacoli inutili spesso spingono le persone a cercare soluzioni alternative. Progettare sistemi sicuri che siano anche facili da usare contribuisce a migliorare sia l’adozione che la protezione.
D: L’intelligenza artificiale può contribuire a migliorare la sicurezza informatica?
R:L’intelligenza artificiale può aiutare i team di sicurezza ad analizzare grandi quantità di dati, contribuendo così a ridurre i falsi positivi. Ciò, a sua volta, aiuta i team a stabilire le priorità tra le minacce e a rispondere in modo più efficiente agli eventi di sicurezza.
D: Le persone dovrebbero avere paura dell’intelligenza artificiale?
R: Rinki’s perspective is that a healthy sense of skepticism is valuable, but fear shouldn’t prevent organizations from adopting technology responsibly. Education, governance, and strong security practices can help organizations use AI with confidence.
Q: What’s the biggest takeaway from this episode?
R: AI adoption isn’t about choosing between innovation and security. Organizations that combine strong governance with practical security measures will be better positioned to take advantage of AI’s benefits while managing its risks.
