AI isn’t coming—it’s already embedded across your organization. At ROCon EMEA, Dilip Bachwani and Andrew Nelson break down the reality security teams are facing today: AI adoption is accelerating faster than governance, visibility, and control. From employee usage of tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, to AI embedded in development pipelines, to production workloads running in the cloud—AI is expanding your attack surface in ways most organizations don’t fully understand. At the same time, attackers are evolving just as quickly. AI isn’t just improving productivity—it’s enabling adversaries to operate at machine speed, building exploits faster, probing environments at scale, and identifying attack paths that traditional defenses were never designed to handle. The session highlights a critical shift: security teams can no longer treat AI as a side concern. It must be managed as a first-class attack surface, with full visibility into where models are running, how they interact with data, and what actions they can take across enterprise systems. A key theme is inventory. You can’t secure what you don’t see—and today, most organizations lack a unified view of their AI footprint, from sanctioned tools to shadow AI, from LLM usage to agent-based automation. The conversation also explores how Risk Operations Centers must evolve to keep pace, moving toward continuous monitoring, unified signal correlation, and autonomous response powered by AI agents that can operate 24/7. The takeaway: the rules have changed. Attackers are already operating in an AI-driven world. Defenders need to catch up—fast. Recorded live at ROCon EMEA.
