Microsoft Security CISO Workshop: The Rise of the Digital Workforce: Securing Microsoft Agents with Confidence

AI adoption is accelerating across organisations, with AI assistants and autonomous agents increasingly becoming part of the day-to-day workforce. As this digital workforce grows, so too does the need for greater control, security, and governance – shifting the conversation beyond productivity and into risk, compliance, and oversight.

The Rise of the Digital Workforce: Securing Microsoft Agents with Confidence highlights the evolving threat landscape that comes with AI adoption, from over-permissioned identities and data exposure to limited visibility and lack of governance. The session will also introduce a practical, structured framework to help organisations effectively discover where AI exists, govern how it operates, and protect both data and actions across the environment.

Presented by Adriaan Bekker, Chief Information Security Officer at Softwerx, we’ll explore what it really means to secure a digital workforce, and how organisations can confidently adopt AI while maintaining control over identities, data, and actions. As AI-driven agents begin to access systems, process sensitive information, and operate with greater autonomy, understanding the associated risks, and how to manage them is critical.

Intended Audience

The Microsoft Security CISO Workshop Webinar series is for all IT Security Professionals who have a responsibility and remit for strategic decision-making within their organisation and, or the tactical deployment of security products and solutions.
