When evaluating a new AI tool for intrusion prevention, which of the following is the...

The highest-priority fit criterion for introducing a new AI security capability is alignment to the organization’s established control objectives and program architectures. Control objectives encode what must be achieved (e.g., detection coverage, response timeliness, accountability, auditability) and are the basis for requirements traceability across governance, risk, and technical controls. Ensuring the tool’s capabilities directly satisfy those objectives provides architectural fit, policy conformance, and measurable assurance. While integration (e.g., SIEM), detection features (e.g., real-time anomaly detection), and orchestration are important, they are secondary to proving the tool maps to—and can be verified against—the control objectives that define the program’s intended outcomes.
