Data Security Posture Management as the Foundation for Safe AI Adoption

ROUNDTABLE
26 February 2026 11:30 am - 1:00 pm EST
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

What’s the single biggest data blind spot that keeps you from confidently scaling AI today?

Most organizations want to scale AI, but their data estate simply isn’t ready. Sensitive information lives in too many places, across too many systems, with too little visibility. Shadow data, inconsistent classification, and slow manual remediation create real risk, especially as AI tools make it easier than ever for sensitive data to leak into prompts, model outputs, or training sets.

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) provides the foundation needed to fix this. By continuously discovering where sensitive data lives, classifying it accurately across cloud and SaaS, and automating remediation of exposure and over- permissioned access, DSPM restores control. It gives security, data, and AI teams the confidence to move faster while reducing the risk of accidental data leakage into AI workflows.

Join Cyera and a select group of your peers as we discuss why total data visibility is the prerequisite for AI safety, how automated, reliable classification becomes the control plane for what AI can and can’t touch, and how faster remediation of exposed or over-permissive data accelerates secure, scalable AI adoption across the enterprise.
