The rapid evolution of digital infrastructures and the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed the cybersecurity landscape for medium and large organizations. While cybersecurity program management frameworks provide structured approaches for governance, risk management, and compliance, they often lack mechanisms to address emerging AI-specific threats such as adversarial attacks. Conversely, existing adversarial defense techniques in AI primarily focus on technical robustness without sufficient integration into organizational security strategies. This research addresses this critical gap by proposing a unified framework that integrates cybersecurity program management principles with adversarial AI defense mechanisms. The proposed framework adopts a multi-layered architecture encompassing governance, risk management, AI security controls, real-time monitoring, and continuous improvement. A hybrid methodology combining qualitative framework analysis and quantitative experimental evaluation is employed to validate the effectiveness of the approach. Experimental results demonstrate that the integrated framework significantly enhances threat detection accuracy, reduces false positive rates, and improves overall system resilience compared to traditional and standalone methods. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of adaptive learning, AI lifecycle security, and automated response mechanisms in addressing sophisticated and evolving cyber threats. The findings suggest that aligning organizational policies with advanced AI-driven security techniques enables a more proactive and scalable cybersecurity posture. This research contributes to the field by providing a comprehensive, practical, and future-ready solution for securing AI-enabled environments, making it suitable for real-world implementation and academic advancement.
