About the Event
Cybersecurity Mythbusters: AI Edition is a virtual webinar scheduled for October 8, 2026, at 11:00 AM IST. Organised by Barracuda Networks, the session uses an interactive format where attendees vote on six widely held beliefs about AI security before experts reveal the facts behind each claim. The approach is designed to separate genuine AI security concerns from misconceptions that may be influencing organisational decision-making.
AI Security Risks and Shadow AI
The webinar focuses on security challenges created by rapid AI adoption in enterprise environments. A central theme is Shadow AI, the phenomenon of employees using unvetted AI tools without organisational oversight. This creates data exposure risks when sensitive information is shared with external AI services, potentially leading to compliance violations and security gaps that traditional policies do not address.
The session examines where AI introduces genuine security risks versus areas where concerns may be overstated. Attendees will learn about overlooked vulnerabilities in current security postures related to AI tool usage.
Building AI Governance Frameworks
Beyond identifying risks, the webinar provides guidance on establishing AI governance frameworks. This includes addressing gaps in existing security policies that were developed before widespread AI adoption. The content is structured to be relevant both for organisations beginning to consider AI governance and those already developing formal policies.
Who Should Attend
The webinar is aimed at IT professionals and security leaders responsible for managing AI-related risks in their organisations. Specific roles that would benefit include:
- CISOs and CIOs evaluating AI security implications
- Compliance officers addressing data protection requirements
- Risk management professionals assessing AI-related threats
- IT governance teams developing AI usage policies
- Digital transformation leaders in mid-to-large enterprises
