Are You Ready for AI? Why Identity & Permissions Decide AI Risk

Thursday 12^th February 2026 - 2PM EST

45 minutes

Presented by Philip Robinson, Chief Marketing Officer @ Lepide

AI tools like Microsoft Copilot don't create new data — they expose what’s already accessible.

This session focuses on the real risk behind AI adoption: over-permissioned users, poorly governed access, and limited visibility into who can see what. We’ll show how tools like Copilot amplify existing weaknesses and what guardrails must be in place before enabling AI at scale.

You’ll learn:

• How AI changes the impact of excessive permissions
• Common oversharing scenarios caused by identity sprawl
• Practical steps to reduce AI-driven data exposure

Essential viewing for organisations planning or expanding AI deployments.
