License to Govern: The Field Guide for AI Risk Management

Tuesday, August 11, 2026
10:10 AM - 10:45 AM
AI Risk Summit Tech Track (Salon II)

About This Session

Every organization strives to build a James Bond security program. Sophisticated. Equipped. Ready for catch villains as soon as they break in.

The problem: today's threats don't break in. They already have a badge. They were credentialed by your own people, with good intentions, but without the knowledge or approval of the security team. Today’s threats look exactly like allies until they don’t.

Through real breach stories from Salesloft Drift, Vercel, and Klue, this session illustrates how AI adoption is reshaping third party risk. The organizations who invest now in modernizing their approach to risk management will be in a much different place in 18 months than those who don’t.
