# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Invisible Workforce - Securing Shadow AI and Autonomous Agents - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 16 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 16 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Dive into the hidden world of Shadow AI & Autonomous Agents and learn how to keep them secure!About this EventThe Invisible Workforce - Securing Shadow AI and Autonomous AgentsAbout the EventEvery business has employees who are already using AI. Most of them have no idea what those employees are sharing. Some of those businesses have already deployed AI agents that are taking autonomous actions inside their systems — and most of those agents have never been reviewed by IT.This is the Invisible Workforce: the unsanctioned AI tools and autonomous agents operating inside your organisation right now, outside your governance frameworks, beyond your security perimeter, and largely invisible to your leadership team.Join us for an exclusive evening networking event that brings together two of the most urgent and underappreciated cybersecurity risks of 2026 — Shadow AI and Agentic AI. This event will give Northern Ireland business leaders the insight and practical tools to govern these risks before they become a crisis.Why You Should AttendThe cybersecurity conversation in Northern Ireland has focused heavily on external threats like ransomware and phishing. But the most significant new risk vector of 2026 is internal — driven by well-intentioned employees trying to do their jobs faster.• Shadow AI has reached epidemic proportions. Over 80% of workers now use unapproved AI tools, and 43% admit to sharing sensitive work information without their employer's knowledge.• Agentic AI is accelerating rapidly. Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026. Yet, 88% of organisations running AI agents reported a confirmed or suspected security incident in the past year.The intersection of these two trends creates a category of risk that most enterprise security programmes are not built to handle. Learn how to protect your organisation from these emerging threats.Meet the SpeakersScott Bewley (MBA, AI)MD/Co-Founder, Kastro.AI Scott Bewley is the Managing Director and co-founder of Kastro.AI, a firm specializing in AI systems audits, compliance with the EU AI Act and ISO 42001, and comprehensive AI training.

He is Managing Director and founder of Kastro.AI, a firm specializing in AI systems audits, compliance with the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and comprehensive AI training and solutions.There’s no shortage of negative headlines about AI, but I’m firmly in the camp that believes AI can be a force for good.It has the potential to create jobs, not just eliminate them. To amplify creativity, not replace it. And to help organisations work smarter and deliver better outcomes.That said, AI adoption needs to be managed responsibly. Many organisations are already facing challenges around Shadow AI, data security, and governance. Before rushing into new tools and use cases, the first step should be understanding what AI is already being used across the business.That’s why I believe every organisation should start with an AI inventory and a clear AI policy. These foundational steps provide the visibility, governance, and guardrails needed to embrace AI safely and effectively." } ] } ] ```
