Overview

Thursday, November 19 | 1:00 pm ET

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the workplace, offering unprecedented opportunities to improve efficiency, streamline operations, and boost productivity. However, as organizations increasingly embrace AI-powered tools, they may also be introducing cybersecurity vulnerabilities they don’t fully understand. From exposing sensitive business information to bypassing established security controls, the rapid adoption of AI is creating new risks that traditional cybersecurity measures may not adequately address.

Join us on Thursday, November 19 at 1:00 pm ET as ThreatLocker’s Bruce Mines joins NMFTA’s Ben Wilkens to present Defending the Hidden Risks of AI. This insightful webinar will uncover the hidden cybersecurity risks associated with workplace AI tools and explore practical strategies to defend against emerging threats without slowing innovation. We’ll examine how everyday use of generative AI platforms, AI-powered applications, and automated productivity tools can unintentionally expose confidential data, expand an organization’s attack surface, and create opportunities for cybercriminals.

Whether your organization is just beginning its AI journey or has already integrated AI into daily operations, this webinar will provide actionable insights to help you recognize vulnerabilities, strengthen your defenses, and make informed decisions about AI adoption.

Don’t let the hidden risks of AI overshadow its potential. Learn how to protect your organization while embracing the opportunities AI has to offer.
