Uncovering Shadow AI Before It Becomes Your Biggest Risk

Your employees have already adopted AI. The question is whether your organization knows where, how, and with which data.

While many companies are encouraging AI innovation, a new security challenge is emerging in parallel: Shadow AI. Employees are connecting AI tools faster than security teams can evaluate them, moving sensitive data into unmanaged applications, and creating blind spots that traditional security controls were never designed to see. Even organizations with mature AI strategies are discovering that sanctioned AI is only part of the story.

Join WatchGuard CISO Corey Nachreiner as he explores the real-world rise of Shadow AI, why it has become the next evolution of Shadow IT, and how attackers are increasingly exploiting cloud applications, identities, and unmanaged services instead of targeting traditional network perimeters.

You'll learn:

• Why visibility is the foundation of AI governance
• How users are bypassing IT today
• What practical steps security teams and MSPs can take to regain control without slowing innovation
• How WatchGuard Cloud Detection and Response (CloudDR) helps MSPs and organizations discover unmanaged cloud and AI applications, identify risky configurations and identity threats, and continuously monitor cloud environments at scale

If you're trying to embrace AI without creating new security blind spots, this session will show you how to see the risks you can't currently see.
