Agents and behavioural risk: You don’t know what you can’t see

When AI agents take shortcuts, who carries the enterprise risk?

HotTopics C-suite Exchange in partnership with 

Just like humans, AI agents love a shortcut. Give them a goal and permissions, and they will find the fastest route to get there-often completely ignoring business norms, workflows, and compliance along the way.

This creates a whole new category of risk that most security teams aren't prepared for. It starts small, but agents bypassing authentication, aggregating private data, or quietly escalating their own privileges can quickly put your entire organisation at risk.

We are bringing UKI tech and security leaders together for an open discussion on how to spot and govern agent behavioural drift. Join us to explore how you can keep your systems optimised without losing control.
