You've adopted AI. Now what about governance?
AI adoption is outpacing regulation and governance. Security and risk leaders must enable AI while facing a harder question: how much risk are you taking on?
Jane Frankland, cybersecurity leader, joins Vanta's GRC experts on scaling AI governance.
Learn how to:
- Build AI governance into your security program
- Assess AI systems and agents based on your risk tolerance
- Understand and communicate risk credibly as adoption grows
- Prepare for the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF
