CISO Roundtable
A closed-door conversation for CISOs on what the largest dataset of its kind reveals about the AI tools already running inside their business, and what's quietly leaving through them.
More than 70,000 security assessments turned up the same pattern. AI gets adopted by whoever finds it useful, long before anyone signs off on it. It stays unsanctioned because approving it properly feels slower than the work it's replacing. Then something gets exposed: a contract, some source code, a customer record, pasted into a tool nobody vetted. Whatever happens next lands on the CISO, whether or not they knew the tool existed.
This session is hosted by CyberCX, Accenture and Microsoft, putting that research in front of senior security leaders in Sydney for a closed-door conversation about where that cycle is already running inside their own organisation, and what a defensible response looks like that doesn't just ban the tools people have already decided they need.
It runs under Chatham House rules, small and invitation-only.
Talking points
What the data actually shows about how AI tools spread inside organisations before anyone approves them.
Giving people an approved option good enough that they stop reaching for the one you didn't sign off on.
What's already left the building through a tool nobody approved, and how you'd actually know.
What a defensible AI governance policy looks like in practice, not just on paper.
"Organisations are adopting AI systems faster than they can secure them."
