Canon Business Services (CBS), Canon’s technology solutions arm, is launching an AI and security advisory capability designed to address what the company views as an AI-readiness gap in Australian businesses.
The business said that a key focus of the new advisory is to help businesses manage the growing, and often unseen, risks that emerge when employees use public AI tools for work tasks.
The advisory aims to help organisations treat security as an enabler of their AI strategy, not something that gets bolted on after the fact.
“The honeymoon phase with AI is officially over,” said Rajith Haththotuwegama , national solutions advisor, AI, apps and data at CBS.
“We’re entering a great AI reset, where organisations are moving beyond pilots and asking harder questions about cost, risk, and real-world value. The challenge is no longer if they should adopt AI, but how to do it without exposing the organisation to crippling new threats. This readiness gap is the single biggest barrier to successful AI adoption in Australia today.”
Last year, CBS ANZ announced it achieved all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, placing it among the top one percent of Microsoft partners in Australia.
