Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are rapidly being adopted across enterprises to drive efficiency, but they come with real and immediate security implications.

Recent studies show that 15% of employees are pasting data into GenAI tools, and 1 in 3 are unknowingly sharing sensitive information. These behaviors create a new layer of risk: inadvertent data leaks, compliance violations, and exposure of confidential assets.

As a result, most organizations face a blunt choice: block GenAI entirely or allow it unchecked. Neither option is valid in today’s world. But GenAI security and productivity shouldn’t be an “either-or” choice.

In this webinar, LayerX security leaders will break down how to secure GenAI usage without sacrificing its value. You’ll get a clear understanding of how these tools are being used, what risks they create, and what practical steps you can take to mitigate them.

Register for this webinar to learn:
• Industry Insights: See how and where GenAI is being used across the enterprise—by whom, for what, and how often.
• Risk Breakdown: Learn what kinds of sensitive data are being exposed, and what that means for your security and compliance posture.
• Protective Actions: Walk away with specific policies, controls, and tools to reduce risk while enabling safe GenAI adoption.
• Real World Lessons: Hear how leading security teams are addressing these challenges in real-world environments.

Whether you’re a CISO, a security architect, or part of the compliance team, this session will give you clear, actionable guidance to secure your organization’s GenAI usage—before it becomes a problem.

Register now and take control of GenAI security before it takes control of you.

Preventing GenAI Data Leakage: Enabling Innovation Without Compromising Security

AI is already transforming how software is built—but for security teams, it’s mostly just making life harder. Developers are shipping AI-generated code at breakneck speed, while security teams struggle to keep up. The challenge isn’t just securing AI-generated code and systems—it’s evolving your AppSec program to keep pace with software development.

We'll provide a framework to how security teams can evolve their programs across two key dimensions: securing AI-driven software development and using AI to enhance security workflows. You’ll learn:
• Strategies for managing risks from AI-generated code and autonomous agents
• How security teams can use AI to reduce work and improve security outcomes
• Where AI can enhance security—and where human expertise remains irreplaceable

AI isn’t just a security challenge; it’s a chance to build a smarter, more efficient security program. Join us to learn how to make AI work for security, not against it.

Evolving Your AppSec Program in the Era of AI

AI Agents are becoming deeply embedded across engineering and business workflows, but the speed of their adoption is outpacing governance. With multiple platforms enabling easy AI Agent creation (from IdPs to PaaS vendors), security teams are struggling to track who’s spinning them up, what identities they use, and where they operate.

In this 30-minute session, we’ll break down:

• What qualifies as an AI Agent (and what doesn’t)
• The types of non-human identities (NHIs) fueling them
• The rise of shadow AI Agents - why they’re spreading fast, where they hide, and the risks they pose
• Detection techniques, from fingerprinting via user agents and IPs to deeper code-level analysis
• Practical steps to bring AI Agents into your governance program without slowing innovation

Whether you’re already encountering rogue agents or getting ahead of the curve, this session will give you concrete takeaways to strengthen visibility and

The State of SaaS Security: Trends and Insights for 2025-26, commissioned by Valence in partnership with the Cloud Security Alliance, reveals a critical inflection point in SaaS security. While 86% of organizations now prioritize SaaS security with 76% increasing budgets, significant challenges persist that threaten enterprise security postures.

Survey data from 420 IT and security professionals highlights persistent visibility gaps, with 55% reporting employees adopt SaaS applications without security involvement. Identity management remains problematic, with 58% struggling to enforce proper privilege management and 46% citing challenges monitoring non-human identities. The expanding attack surface through GenAI tools and SaaS-to-SaaS integrations presents new vulnerabilities, with 56% of organizations concerned about overprivileged API access to sensitive data. 

This webinar will explore key insights from the report, including emerging threat vectors, effective mitigation strategies, and how organizations can evolve their security programs to match the complexity of modern SaaS environments.
