CISO Forum Hosts 2026 Mid-Year Review Webinar

Reporting by SecurityWeek, indexed by ITSecurityNews, announces a CISO Forum webinar titled "2026 Mid-Year Review" scheduled for today. The indexed article states the webinar will cover protecting against unmonitored use of generative AI (referred to as Shadow AI) in business units and building and enforcing AI governance frameworks. The post is an event notice and does not include a speaker roster, agenda timestamps, or direct quotes.

Industry-pattern observations: Shadow AI, the unmonitored use of generative AI tools by business teams, has been repeatedly cited in public security reporting as a vector for data leakage, compliance gaps, and inconsistent model usage. For practitioners, mature governance typically combines access controls, logging, and model evaluation standards rather than ad hoc tool bans.

Conferences and CISO-focused webinars including governance and Shadow AI topics reflect ongoing practitioner demand for operational controls around model use. Security and compliance teams are increasingly responsible for observable controls and auditability when line-of-business groups adopt external AI services.

Observers should look for a published webinar agenda or slide deck, named speakers with security or compliance backgrounds, and any follow-up guidance or checklists released by the forum. Absent those items, attendees often rely on vendor tooling and post-event summaries to operationalize recommendations.
