AI is reshaping how organisations work—but too often, fear drives decision-making instead of strategy. In this livestream, we’ll cut through the hype and look at what really matters when securing and scaling AI.
We’ll explore:
The biggest misconceptions companies have when onboarding AI tools
The real, day-to-day risks that actually matter (and how to manage them)
What sets successful AI adopters apart from those stuck in pilot mode
How to build a positive, resilient AI security posture without stifling innovation

💡 Fear costs more than ideas.
Most bad campaigns don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because fear kills the bold ones before they ever get tested.
Big budgets. Endless approvals. Playing it safe.
That’s how brave ideas die.
