Shadow IT, shadow AI: a new security frontier?

Is shadow AI today as great a risk as shadow IT was over the last decade?

And have we learned the security lessons from previous IT transformations, including BYOD and the cloud?

In this episode, we discuss why unauthorised and uncontrolled AI tools pose growing threats to both security and data confidentiality. And we look at how agentic AI brings a whole new set of risks, as systems create their own connections without human oversight.

How can cybersecurity leaders ensure the safe development of AI, without creating a whole new attack surface?

Our guest is Simon Gooch, field CIO at Saviynt.

Previously a director of security at Accenture, Simon has more than 25 years direct experience of cybersecurity and governance.
