Most organizations focus on AI models, but the real security challenge lies elsewhere: data. AI systems amplify existing data security weaknesses, expose oversharing risks, and create entirely new pathways for sensitive information to be discovered, processed, and unintentionally revealed. This executive briefing explains why successful AI transformation begins with data governance, not technology selection. Attendees will learn how leading organizations are preparing their data estates for AI adoption, reducing oversharing risks, securing AI interactions, and implementing governance controls that allow employees to use AI safely. The session translates technical concepts into business language and provides leaders with a practical roadmap for enabling secure AI innovation at scale.
