Shadow AI is here: How to regain control and enable AI securely
Shadow AI is now present in almost every organisation, and most leadership teams underestimate the scale of it. Staff are already using unsanctioned AI tools to draft content, process sensitive information, and accelerate daily work. The result is growing exposure to data loss, confidentiality breaches, and regulatory scrutiny, even in firms that believe they have strong controls in place. Blocking AI entirely is not a solution. It pushes staff further toward unapproved tools and increases risk. The real opportunity is to provide clear guardrails, safe alternatives, visibility of usage, and practical governance that keeps people productive. This session will give you a clear understanding of the risks of inaction, what good AI governance looks like in practice, and a simple, actionable approach to get control of Shadow AI in your organisation. Attendees will walk away with a practical checklist they can apply immediately, along with resources to benchmark their current readiness. Agenda: • The Reality of Shadow AI and what it means for your business • How to regain control and keep your business moving fast • The essential checklist to reduce risk & enable secure AI transformation • Resources to support your next steps • Q&A with our experts
