Summary
Artificial intelligence has quickly evolved from a productivity tool into an active participant in many organizations' daily operations. As organizations give AI greater autonomy within their environment, they're also granting them access to sensitive systems and data. That creates a new challenge for IT and security teams: How do you enable AI to assist productivity without compromising security? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how zero trust principles can prevent an AI breakout. Rather than relying solely on the AI tool's built-in safeguards, organizations can choose to enforce security policies using ThreatLocker. Rob will discuss how ThreatLocker can enforce AI boundaries through Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, Endpoint Firewall, and Web Content Control, with Community Policies that govern what agentic AI tools can run, do, access, and reach.
