ET WLF 2026: Tech Inc calls for stronger AI governance to offset cyber threats
Indian enterprises and critical infrastructure operators must invest in strengthening artificial intelligence (AI) governance as autonomous agents significantly expand the cyber threat landscape, industry leaders said.
"Agents deployed for cybersecurity can handle many lower-level tasks such as triage, but organisations need to understand where these agents are being deployed, what they are doing, and establish guardrails to ensure they achieve the intended outcomes," said Nick Schneider, CEO of Arctic Wolf, he said, adding that the biggest challenge for enterprises is balancing innovation with security. "Organisations deploy too quickly, haven't put any guardrails up and AI starts operating in a way that it shouldn't," he said, speaking at a panel moderated by ET's Himanshi Lohchab.
