The Business Case for AI Security: Aligning CISOs and CFOs on Agentic Risk

About this session

As organisations across all sectors deploy autonomous AI agents to drive efficiency, they are inadvertently reshaping the insider risk landscape. These intelligent systems operate with legitimate credentials and access vast amounts of enterprise data, creating a complex new attack surface. Traditional security tools can monitor basic activity, but often lack the behavioural context needed to identify when an autonomous agent is operating outside its intended parameters.

This webinar explores the critical findings from Exabeam’s The Agentic Insider: From Monitoring to Understanding. Based on a survey of 600 security and finance leaders, we will examine the growing operational risks of AI agents and a key organisational challenge: translating technical risk into terms finance leaders understand. Attendees will learn why AI agents are emerging as a leading insider threat, the importance of behavioural baselining, and how CISOs can align security priorities with business objectives to secure funding and support.
