Accenture’s Kendzior and Palo Alto Networks’ Campagna on AI Security Strategies
Emerging AI technologies will continue to evolve in the foreseeable future, making it essential for organizations to establish guardrails and “ensure you don’t misuse or lose access to sensitive data,” said Daniel Kendzior, global data and AI security leader at Accenture.

“Businesses want to move quickly with AI, just like they wanted to do with cloud. The pace of innovation on the AI side is tremendous,” Kendzior said. “Once you come up with a holistic view, you can start to put the correct guardrails in and add the protections from there.”
Rich Campagna, senior vice president of product management, next-gen firewall, at Palo Alto Networks, said AI security falls into three categories: controlling employee access to third-party AI applications, safeguarding the development and deployment of AI-powered tools, and evolving cybersecurity measures to counter AI-driven attacks.
“Consider a code optimization application where developers send source code to a third-party service to optimize or test it. If that application is compromised, it could introduce malicious code along with the optimized code, posing significant risks to the organization’s security,” Campagna said.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at ISMG’s North America Midwest Summit, Kendzior and Campagna also discussed:
- Controlling access to third-party AI applications to prevent data leaks and ensure security;
- Safeguarding AI models and training data to protect against cyberthreats;
- Evolving cybersecurity infrastructure to counter AI-driven attacks and protect sensitive information.
Kendzior has extensive global experience driving large-scale information security transformations. At Accenture, he focuses on data discovery and classification, data protection, data architecture and encryption, and trust solutions.
Campagna has more than 20 years of experience in marketing, sales and product management. At Palo Alto Networks, he leads strategy for hardware, software and cloud firewalls. Previously, he served as senior vice president and general manager of posture control, or CNAPP, at Zscaler.
