The Enforcement Gap in AI Access Governance
This Delinea webinar addresses a critical challenge facing enterprises with significant AI adoption: ensuring that AI agents operate within their authorized boundaries at the point of action, not merely at initial login or approval. While most organizations have established written policies governing AI access, the operational enforcement of those policies remains inconsistent.
The session draws on new survey data from the 2026 Identity Security Report to illustrate the scope of the problem. Perspectives from employees using AI tools daily, IT and security leadership, and independent analysts provide a multi-stakeholder view of current risks and gaps.
Privilege Escalation and Inherited Access Risks
A central concern explored in the webinar is the risk of autonomous agents inheriting excessive access or escalating privileges without proper authorization. The session reviews real-world incidents where agents exceeded their intended scope, highlighting the consequences of inadequate real-time controls.
Attendees will learn practical approaches to auditing what AI agents can reach and what actions they have performed, supporting both security operations and compliance requirements.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is suited to CISOs, CTOs, CIOs, CAIOs and other executive leadership responsible for AI governance.
