About this session

Most organisations believe they have AI risk under control. In reality, employees are already using AI tools in ways that security teams can’t fully see, monitor, or manage. Blocking access doesn’t stop adoption it simply drives it underground.

This session challenges the assumption that traditional security models are fit for purpose in an AI-driven world. As data flows through prompts, AI acts on behalf of users, and decisions become harder to trace, long-standing control frameworks begin to break down. The result is a growing gap between perceived control and actual risk.

We will explore the rise of “shadow AI,” the limitations of existing security approaches, and the human behaviours driving this shift. The discussion will focus on how organisations can move from rigid, control-based models to more adaptive strategies that balance visibility, trust, and enablement without slowing innovation.

Discussion Points:
- The Myth of Control:
- Shadow AI
- Invisible Data Flows and Emerging Exposure Risks
- Monitoring vs Trust
- How to Enable AI Safely Without Driving It Underground

Be prepared to share your experiences in this exclusive small gathering.
