While many AI discussions focus on future risks and theoretical concerns, this session delivers what cybersecurity professionals need right now: clear, actionable guidance for securely implementing AI today. Rather than speculate on what AI might do, we’ll focus on what you must do—starting with robust data governance as your first and most critical line of defense.

In this session you will:

• Learn why data governance must be implemented before AI adoption to prevent data exposure and ensure safe deployment
• Explore real-world scenarios where inadequate controls allowed AI tools to access sensitive or excessive data
• Gain practical strategies for applying per-user access controls and modifying your corporate security structure to integrate AI responsibly
