The CISO Forum is running a webinar today walking security leaders through the biggest infosec challenges of 2026 so far, and one topic is getting special attention: Shadow AI.
If you haven’t bumped into the term yet, Shadow AI refers to employees across business units spinning up generative AI tools and workflows without IT or security oversight. It’s the SaaS sprawl problem all over again, except this time the unmanaged tools are ingesting proprietary data, generating code, and making decisions—all outside any governance framework. For CISOs, it’s a nightmare scenario: you can’t protect what you don’t know exists.
The session covers practical steps for building and enforcing AI governance policies, from discovery and inventory to access controls and acceptable use frameworks. If your organization hasn’t started this conversation yet, the midway point of 206 is a good time to catch up.
