Partnership sparks opportunity for channel to help enterprises meet new regulations for safe and trustworthy AI implementations
Farnborough, UK – 30 May 2024 – Ignition Technology and Cranium have announced a strategic partnership to help organisations navigate the complex regulatory landscape for AI implementation in Europe following the introduction of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. The new ground-breaking legislation is the first of its kind in the world and aims to set a global standard for AI regulation.
Ignition, a specialist in SaaS based cybersecurity, and Cranium, the leading enterprise AI security and trust software firm, will collaborate to provide European channel partners with a unique proposition aimed at European and multinational organisations. Using Cranium’s Exposure Management Solution, security teams will have unparalleled visibility across an organisation’s AI ecosystem, as well as toolsets and insights to take precise and rapid action.
Commenting on the collaboration, Felix Knoll, COO/CRO and Co-Founder at Cranium, said, “Europe is leading the way when it comes to ensuring responsible and ethical AI implementation with the introduction of the EU AI Act. This presents new challenges for organisations deploying AI in terms of governance and compliance. However, it also presents new opportunities to innovate and create value. We needed a trusted European partner to leverage these opportunities, one with specialist security expertise, extensive partner reach and with proven go-to-market success. Ignition ticked all these boxes and we’re delighted to be working with them.”
Speaking about the new partnership, Sean Remnant, Chief Strategy Officer at Ignition Technology said, “Legislation can sometimes be seen as a blocker to innovation but we see the new EU AI Act as as a catalyst, providing the necessary frameworks and guardrails to ensure AI adoption across organisations is done securely, safely and responsibly. Our collaboration with Cranium will enable our partners to address the complex challenges of complying with this new legislation by providing their customers with visibility of their AI landscape, identify risk and deliver peace of mind. We’re looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship working with them.”
Cranium recently launched its EU AI Hub, in collaboration with KPMG and Microsoft. Based in Dublin, Ireland, the hub combines KPMG’s Trusted Responsible AI Framework with Cranium’s enterprise software platform, along with Microsoft’s AI technologies to create new tools and help developers and businesses through the AI deployment process, providing organisations with the necessary solutions and insights to navigate the compliance and complexities of AI implementation.
