Experts discuss the growing threat of AI agents inside organizations and the need for better visibility and governance.

Why it matters

Organizations need to address the growing threat of AI agents inside their networks to prevent insider threats.

Imagine there's a helper robot in your office that can do lots of work. But you can't see it or know what it's doing. That's like an AI agent. The webinar will teach how to find and control these helper robots to keep your office safe.

Analysis

Visibility Gap

Only 51.8% of organizations report full visibility into AI tools their staff use, leaving a significant blind spot. This webinar will discuss practical steps to address the visibility gap.

Shadow AI

AI agents, coding assistants, MCP servers, and browser extensions are turning up across the business. Most of them never cross your network gateway in a way the tools you already run would recognize. The result is a hard irony: the AI with the most access is often the AI your security team can't see.

Governed Adoption

The alternative to outright blocking AI is governed adoption. The webinar will show what that looks like in practice.

What You'll Take Away

Where AI is actually showing up on your endpoints, and why the tools you already run don't see most of it. New research from Bitdefender Labs on real machines, including the malicious agent skill caught in the wild. Why an AI agent with credentials and no owner behaves like an insider risk, and what to do about it. Why blocking AI outright tends to fail, and what governed adoption looks like instead.

Key points

  • Only 51.8% of organizations have full visibility into AI tools their staff use.
  • AI agents are turning up across the business, often hidden from security tools.
  • Governed adoption is a practical solution to the problem of AI agents.
The Upside

With better tools and practices, organizations can reduce the risk of AI agents causing problems inside their networks.

The Downside

If organizations don't address the visibility gap, AI agents could cause serious security issues.
