Webinar to Explore Insider Risk in Human and AI Actions
A forthcoming webinar will delve into the complexities of insider risk, focusing on differentiating malicious intent from errors or AI drift.
Security professionals are invited to a live webinar that aims to redefine the understanding of insider risk in the modern enterprise. The session, titled "Rethinking Insider Risk: Tracing Intent Across Human and AI Actions," will address the growing challenge of distinguishing between deliberate malicious acts, unintentional errors, and the unpredictable drift of autonomous AI agents.
The webinar will present a compelling enterprise insider-risk case study from 2026. This study highlights how seemingly routine actions, such as extended remote-access sessions utilizing legitimate workplace tools, were followed by unauthorized external access to sensitive files. In isolation, each activity appeared innocuous, but when analyzed collectively, they revealed a significant and escalating security threat that could have easily been missed.
As both human employees and sophisticated AI agents increasingly perform interconnected tasks, security teams face a critical need to understand the context behind actions, not just the actions themselves. The core challenge lies in determining whether these activities remain aligned with their intended purpose. Without this contextual understanding, it becomes exceedingly difficult to differentiate between intentional misuse, honest mistakes, and the emergent behaviors of AI agents.
Attendees will gain insights into identifying insider risk, particularly when human and AI-driven actions begin to deviate from their designated operational parameters. The session will focus on practical methods for recognizing these deviations and understanding the potential security implications.
A key focus of the webinar will be on identifying specific session-level signals that can help security analysts distinguish between deliberate malicious intent, accidental human error, and the subtle but potentially dangerous drift of AI agents. This granular analysis is crucial for accurate threat assessment and response.
Furthermore, the webinar will provide guidance on how to determine the optimal moments for real-time intervention. The goal is to enable security teams to prevent potential harm or data breaches effectively, without inadvertently disrupting legitimate business operations or the productivity of well-meaning employees and AI systems.
The session is designed for security leaders, SOC analysts, risk managers, and IT professionals who are on the front lines of defending against evolving insider threats. It promises actionable strategies and a deeper understanding of the human and AI elements that contribute to insider risk.
