SANS Publishes AI Security Maturity Model Scoring Protect, Utilize, and Govern AI Independently

SANS Institute·low signal

SANS released the AI Security Maturity Model, which independently scores three pillars — Protect AI, Utilize AI, and Govern AI — acknowledging that most enterprise AI security programs are strong in one pillar, inconsistent in two, and blind to how they interact. The model addresses a growing gap as organizations deploy AI agents across production workflows without holistic security assessment frameworks. For engineering teams shipping AI features, this provides the first structured self-assessment rubric from a trusted security institution.
