AI adoption is outpacing enterprise data governance. Security, data, and privacy leaders are being asked to make AI safe and compliant in production, often without a clear picture of what data their AI systems can actually reach. You cannot govern AI if you do not govern the data AI can access. This session explores how governance practices are being rebuilt in real time to keep pace with agentic AI and enterprise copilots.
Gartner predicts that organizations will abandon 60% of AI projects that are not supported by AI-ready data, and that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, with inadequate risk controls among the primary causes. As adoption accelerates, the constraint is rarely the model. It is the visibility, quality, and governance of the data behind it. Security and data leaders are being asked to enable AI while managing sensitive data exposure, regulatory pressure, and autonomous agents that act faster than any human review process.
Getting AI-ready takes more than clean data. It requires knowing what AI agents and copilots can reach, governance that evolves as quickly as the capabilities it governs, and controls that hold up once systems are in production. It also means surfacing the blind spots early: shadow AI, data sprawl across cloud and SaaS, ove rpermissioned access, third-party exposure, and inconsistent classification.
Join Sentra and a select group of your peers for a candid discussion of what AI-ready governance looks like in practice. We will compare how leading organizations are assessing readiness, closing visibility gaps, deciding who owns AI data governance, and setting guardrails that reduce risk without stalling delivery.

About Sentra
Sentra helps enterprises continuously discover, classify, and govern the data that powers their AI systems — without that data ever leaving their environment. Instead of scanning after the fact or requiring persistent API access, Sentra operates inenvironment with metadata-only egress, giving security and data teams real-time visibility into what sensitive data exists, where it lives, and what AI platforms and agents can access. Outcome focus: organizations move from reactive data security to proactive AI readiness, cutting governance effort and reducing breach exposure tied to ungoverned AI access (backed by Forrester TEI: 351% 3-yr ROI, <6-month payback). Sentra is the AI Data Readiness Platform that helps organizations continuously discover, govern, and secure the data that powers AI. As enterprises adopt copilots, agents, and AI platforms, Sentra gives security and data teams the visibility and control needed to ensure AI operates only on data that's inventoried, classified, and properly scoped — closing the gap between fast moving AI adoption and the governance models meant to keep it safe.
