The AI Agent Nobody Owns: Watch Expert Webinar On Your Newest Insider Threat
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
An upcoming Bitdefender webinar will address the hidden risk of “shadow AI” agents that operate on corporate laptops without oversight, storing API keys and passwords and accessing internal systems. The session, titled “AI as an Insider Threat: From Shadow AI to Governed AI,” features Richard De La Torre, Bitdefender’s Technical Product Marketing Manager, and promises a practical playbook for detecting and governing these unseen agents. Bitdefender’s 2026 Cybersecurity Assessment reports that only 51.8 % of firms have full visibility into employee‑used AI tools, leaving nearly half exposed. IBM research links 20 % of breaches to shadow AI. The webinar will cover discovery methods, permission controls, and strategies for integrating governed AI adoption into existing security operations.
💡 Why It Matters
- · Unseen AI agents can bypass traditional defenses, turning internal tools into covert breach vectors.
- · Gaining visibility now prevents costly insider‑origin attacks before they materialize.
