Shaken, not Secured: A Dossier for Closing the AI Visibility Gap
About This Session
In the movies, secret agents are either protecting the mission or quietly undermining it. The scary part is that they often look the same at first: both have credentials, both have access, and both move through restricted areas without setting off alarms.
As AI infiltrates everyday apps and agent builders, security teams can't settle for tailing a known watchlist of AI tools; they need eyes on a constantly shifting network of double agents—AI embedded in other SaaS tools, agents, integrations, and permissions that traditional network- and endpoint-based security tools were never built to surveil.
This session unpacks why shadow AI reconnaissance is a different mission entirely from past shadow IT operations, and how today's organizations are adapting their tradecraft to keep up. Attendees will leave with a field-tested framework for closing their AI visibility gap, a clear briefing on why discovery is the precondition for every other security control, and a solid case for unlocking budget across security, AI innovation, and compliance.
Because every successful mission starts with good intelligence.
