Webinar Description

What the event is about
The event, hosted by Skyhigh Security with guest speaker Jeff Pollard (VP of CISO Research at Forrester), is a webinar focused on the security implications of agentic AI—autonomous AI systems that operate beyond traditional large language model (LLM) chat interfaces. The session explores how agentic AI fundamentally changes the enterprise risk landscape, introduces new attack surfaces, and requires organizations to rethink data protection, governance, and risk reduction strategies, especially in highly regulated environments. Attendees will learn about the unique risks posed by agentic AI, how threat actors are leveraging AI to accelerate attacks, and what security leaders must do to adapt their architectures and policies for this new era.

Subject Matter
Main topics include:
– Agentic AI and its differences from traditional AI/LLMs
– Expanding attack surfaces (users, agents, apps, APIs, browser activity, workflows, data)
– Shadow AI (sanctioned and unsanctioned AI adoption)
– Data-centric Zero Trust security models
– Governance, compliance, and real-time enforcement
– Threat actor tactics using AI
– Security architecture simplification and observability
