The live webinar “Shadow AI & Agentic Risk: New Global Research on the Gold Standard Approach,” hosted by KnowBe4, delivers an in-depth exploration of the evolving landscape of AI governance and cybersecurity. This event is designed for IT professionals, CISOs, and risk management leaders seeking to understand and address the challenges posed by the rapid adoption of AI agents in enterprise environments.
Understanding Shadow AI and Agentic Risk
As organizations accelerate the integration of AI agents into daily workflows, new security vulnerabilities and governance challenges emerge. Shadow AI—unapproved or unmanaged AI tools—can create significant risks, expanding the criminal attack surface and introducing threats through everyday work mistakes. The webinar examines how these risks are evolving and why traditional security policies may no longer be sufficient.
Drawing on research from 800 cybersecurity leaders and 3,200 employees worldwide, the session reveals that only a minority of organizations have implemented effective governance strategies. This gap between policy and practice leaves many enterprises exposed to agentic risk, where both AI agents and human employees form a complex, interconnected security layer.
Bridging the Governance Gap
The event provides practical guidance for closing the governance gap and transforming agentic risk into security wins. Attendees will gain insights into the gold standard approach for AI governance, learning how to align security policies with real-world workforce behavior. The session emphasizes the importance of proactive risk management and the adoption of agentic security strategies that bridge policy and organizational culture.
Participants will also receive a complimentary guide and have the opportunity to earn CPE credits, reinforcing the event’s commitment to education and professional development within the AI governance and cybersecurity community.
