The AI security imperative: Risks, threats and practical defences

AI is transforming how organisations operate, innovate and compete. But as businesses increasingly adopt AI-powered applications, copilots and autonomous agents, they are also inheriting a new set of security, governance and risk challenges. The same technologies driving productivity and efficiency are creating new attack surfaces, enabling new forms of cybercrime and introducing risks that traditional security controls were never designed to address.
 
In this webinar, Richard Ford, CTO, is joined by Brian Martin, Director of Product Management, to explore the rapidly evolving AI threat landscape and what organisations must do to secure their AI-enabled future.
 
From agentic applications and AI-powered fraud to deepfakes, prompt injection attacks and emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) risks, this session examines how attackers are leveraging AI to scale their capabilities and why organisations need new approaches to trust, risk and security management. Attendees will also gain insight into leading frameworks such as how to build governance, visibility and control into AI initiatives without slowing innovation.
 
Join us for a practical discussion on the risks, realities and security strategies that will define the next generation of AI-enabled organisations.

What you will learn:

• The most significant AI security threats and risks facing organisations today

• How AI and autonomous agents are creating new attack surfaces and exposure points

• The rise of AI-powered cybercrime, deepfakes and automated social engineering attacks

• Why AI-first organisations face a growing "security tax" as adoption accelerates

• The security implications of agentic applications and Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystems

• Key controls and security capabilities required to govern AI safely at scale

• How to balance AI innovation with effective security, governance and risk management

• What security leaders should be doing today to prepare for the next wave of AI-driven threats and opportunities
