About the Event
The Data-First Forum: Governing the Ungovernable presents a virtual fireside chat examining how organizations can build governance frameworks for AI systems before they become mission critical. Hosted by Varonis, the session brings together CISOs and data security specialists to discuss the operational realities of AI oversight in enterprise environments.
The webinar targets senior decision-makers responsible for AI strategy, security, and governance in medium to large organizations. Industries represented include finance, healthcare, manufacturing, government, and education, where AI adoption is accelerating and governance requirements are becoming more complex.
AI Risk Ownership and Accountability
A central theme of the session is clarifying who owns AI risk within an organization. As AI systems gain greater decision-making autonomy, traditional accountability structures often fail to keep pace. The discussion explores how security, legal, and business teams can share responsibility for AI outcomes without creating gaps or duplicating efforts.
The session also examines what happens when AI acts unexpectedly. Without clear ownership models, organizations struggle to audit decisions, trace errors, or respond to incidents effectively. The fireside chat addresses how to establish reporting lines and escalation paths that account for AI’s unique characteristics.
Visibility and Control in AI Systems
The webinar addresses the challenge of maintaining visibility into AI operations at scale. Many organizations lack adequate reporting structures to monitor how AI systems access data, make decisions, and interact with other business processes. This blind spot becomes more significant as AI integrates with platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, AWS, and Salesforce.
Varonis experts discuss approaches to building visibility frameworks that support both security monitoring and compliance requirements. The conversation covers how the Varonis Data Security Platform and Atlas AI Security capabilities can support governance objectives across hybrid environments.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is suited for CISOs, IT security leaders, compliance officers, risk management professionals, and legal teams involved in AI strategy. Attendees should be working in organizations where AI adoption is underway or planned, particularly those seeking to formalize governance before AI systems become deeply embedded in operations.
