Still adjusting your DLP and hoping it improves?

There’s a reason it doesn’t.

Legacy approaches rely on pattern matching that creates noise by design. This session walks through what’s changing—and how AI is helping reduce false positives without constant manual effort.

Moderator: Alex Grohmann (Sicher Consulting)
Speakers: Christopher Hoesly (BigID) & Yonatan Striem Amit (7AI)

Thank you to Alex Grohmann and Shwetha Babu Prasad for a strong, practical discussion on privacy in AI-driven critical infrastructure.

Hosted by the ISSA Privacy SIG and sponsored by RSA Conference, this session highlighted where traditional controls fall short—and why privacy needs to evolve toward more context-aware, system-level approaches.

Tomorrow, 1 PM ET. Don't miss it.

AI agents are being built and deployed by your own teams, marketing, engineering, and finance — and they're often in production long before security has any visibility into them.

Inventory gives you a starting point. Runtime is where governance has to go next.

The AI Agents You Didn't Know You Have gets into the specifics:
→ What the inventory gap actually costs at runtime
→ What real-time visibility requires
→ How to move from observation to enforcement without adding friction
