    Jun 10 2026

    AI is reshaping business models, transforming how organisations operate, and creating new security challenges at a speed many businesses are still learning how to manage.


    In this episode of Beyond the Firewall, experts from Palo Alto Networks and NTT DATA discuss how organisations can adopt AI safely, why AI security now belongs at board level, and what businesses need to consider as they move from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:


    • Why AI security has become a strategic boardroom priority
    • How shadow AI is emerging as the new shadow IT
    • Why data governance is a critical foundation for successful AI adoption
    • How agentic AI changes the risk model by giving software permission to act on behalf of users
    • What organisations can do to build AI security into their strategy from the start


    For CISOs, CTOs, technology leaders and business decision-makers looking to accelerate AI adoption without increasing risk, this episode offers practical insight into how to balance innovation, governance and security.
