BEYOND THE BUZZWORDS


4. Integrity as a cultural component of cybersecurity. Protecting integrity isn’t just a technical task, it’s also a matter of organizational culture. A strong cybersecurity culture places high value on data governance, with clear policies around how data is accessed, modified and stored. Change management ensures that updates to systems or data are controlled and documented, reducing the risk of accidental or unauthorized changes. Audit


trails provide


transparency and accountability, showing who accessed what data and when. Establishing clear roles and responsibilities helps ensure that individuals are held accountable for data integrity. Finally, organizations committed to integrity must embrace continuous improvement, using lessons learned from audits, incidents and evolving threats to constantly refine their practices. For FMS operations, embedding integrity into the culture ensures that security is proactive, not reactive—anticipating threats and fostering trust among international partners.


While the full scope of AI’s integration into FMS and other aspects of the enterprise is yet to be seen, the U.S. Army Secu- rity Assistance Command’s (USASAC) G2/6 division is doing its part to stoke innovation and create a foundation of responsi- ble AI use through two initiatives.


Te first initiative, a hybrid USASAC Microsoft Copilot sandbox team, serves to guide the strategic and responsible implemen- tation of Generative AI and large language models and assess Microsoft Copilot’s impact on efficiency across existing end-user tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and the potential of integrating it with other supporting applications and capabilities.


Secondly, the G2/6 is hosting a lunch and learn series that aims to position USASAC as early adopters and leaders in leverag- ing AI for increased efficiency and effectiveness through sessions focused on prompt engineering, identifying use cases, responsi- ble AI usage and future trends and potential.


CONCLUSION Cybersecurity is the means to protect integrity, and integrity is the goal that gives cybersecurity its purpose. Treating them as separate concerns is a dangerous oversight. A truly secure system is one that not only protects data from unauthorized access but also guarantees its accuracy, completeness and reliability. For FMS, where trust and precision are paramount, this connection is more critical than ever. By prioritizing data quality, cybersecu- rity and ethical considerations, FMS can unlock the full potential of AI and realize significant cost savings, improved efficiency and enhanced national security.

KEEP DOUBLE-CHECKING


While AI can enhance efficiency, qualified personnel must review decisions to ensure sound judgment and accountability. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of AI systems are needed to track performance, identify emerging issues and ensure that systems remain accurate, fair and effective.
