Session 1

As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide integration, the risk landscape has shifted from simple prompt-injection concerns to complex systemic vulnerabilities and governance challenges. This keynote session from PBC Connect – RSAC 2026 spotlights industry thought leaders as they contextualize pressing AI adoption concerns and how teams are navigating them; as illuminated by our State of AI Risk Management 2026 research. From the challenges of data residency in LLMs to the emergence of autonomous "agentic" threats, these leaders share their perspectives on how to maintain risk oversight without stifling the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.
