AI spotlight: AI Knows No Boundaries: Governing Data Access Before It's Too Late

When AI productivity tools like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT are deployed, they don't arrive on a clean slate — they inherit every misconfigured permission, unclassified sensitive file, and over-provisioned account already present in your environment. Most organizations conduct no assessment of what AI can reach before switching it on, and once it's running, native logs tell you the tool was used but not what it exposed. In this session, we'll examine how security teams can get ahead of AI-driven data exposure through pre-deployment readiness assessments, continuous visibility into what AI tools access and surface, and enforceable governance policies that extend to non-human identities like AI agents and service accounts — before regulators or threat actors force the issue.
