Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. The steelmaker is also keeping a close eye on possible risks associated with artificial intelligence
\n How serious is Algoma Steel about cybersecurity?<\/p>\n

Very serious, according to documents filed this month with securities regulators.<\/p>\n

So far, the Sault steelmaker has yet to experience a material cybersecurity breach, but the company disclosed in its most recent sustainability report that 100 per cent of its salaried employees have completed mandatory cybersecurity training.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity is activity designed to shield computer programs, networks and systems against digital attacks.<\/p>\n

Cyberattacks can extort money using ransomware.<\/p>\n

They can also interrupt a company’s business, and change or destroy sensitive information.<\/p>\n

“To strengthen our human defence layer, we maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness and training program for all employees,” Algoma Steel said in a sustainability report released on June 4.<\/p>\n

The company’s audit and risk management committee receives at least four updates on the issue each year.<\/p>\n

Algoma’s most recent staffing levels show it has about 335 salaried employees, working as front line supervisors, shift co-ordinators and planners, as well as office and technical professionals.<\/p>\n

“Periodic deep-dive sessions are conducted to provide detailed insights into key risk areas, along with the mitigation strategies in place to address them,” the company reports.<\/p>\n

“Our cybersecurity program is aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and we conduct recurring third-party maturity assessments to benchmark and continuously improve our capabilities.<\/p>\n

“We are also actively progressing toward compliance with NIST SP 800-171, which we anticipate will be a requirement for participation in Canadian government-sponsored projects.<\/p>\n

“To strengthen our human defence layer, we maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness and training program for all employees.<\/p>\n

“This includes ongoing education as well as simulated phishing campaigns to reinforce vigilance and reduce susceptibility to social engineering threats.”<\/p>\n

Algoma Steel is also keeping a close eye on possible risks involving artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

“We have established an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Committee which includes the development of a responsible and ethical use of AI policy to guide employee use of AI technologies.<\/p>\n

“As we expand the use of AI, we are aligning our governance approach with the NIST Risk Management Framework (\u201cRMF\u201d) playbook for AI, with oversight provided by the chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

“This includes implementing appropriate risk controls, validation processes, and maintaining a human-in-the-loop review model to ensure that no AI-driven changes are deployed to production environments without appropriate oversight and approval.”<\/p>\n
