Blind Spots to Control: Governing AI, Apps & Access at Scale
6:00 - 8:30pm CET | Frankfurt, Germany.
Event Overview
As enterprises shift deeper into cloud-first and AI-enabled operations, maintaining consistent security controls across a fragmented digital environment has become one of the core challenges facing senior technology leaders. Data, users, and applications now move freely across SaaS, IaaS, and remote endpoints – often without clear oversight or policy alignment.
This roundtable will explore how security and architecture teams are addressing these challenges by converging network and security functions, integrating AI governance, and restoring real-time visibility into who is accessing what, from where, and under what risk conditions. We’ll also examine the importance of building inventories of AI tools and APIs, and how organisations are embedding these into existing monitoring and governance workflows.
Discussion Points:
Unifying access, policy, and detection across hybrid infrastructure
Governance models for AI systems, APIs, and shadow workloads
Enhancing visibility into cloud apps, user activity, and access risk
Aligning architecture with business goals, compliance, and scale
