Workshop: Beyond the Shadow – Mastering Governance for Agentic & Third-Party AI

Monday 9th March – 4:00 PM until 7:00 PM SGT

An exclusive workshop on securing AI adoption — from shadow AI and agentic systems to actionable governance.

Presented by ISTARI in collaboration with Cranium.ai

As AI adoption accelerates at an unprecedented pace, a critical gap has emerged: AI systems are proliferating faster than the governance structures meant to manage them. Organizations today face a dual challenge—Shadow AI, where employees and business units deploy unvetted tools, and the rise of Agentic AI, where autonomous systems make decisions with minimal human oversight.

Without clear decision-making frameworks, technical risk identification remains toothless. Vulnerable models stay in production, and third-party risks remain invisible.

This workshop shall provide leaders with a blueprint to bridge the gap between innovation and security. Through the lens of ISTARI’s strategic oversight and Cranium AI’s technical visibility, we will move beyond identifying risks to implementing actionable AI Guardrails. Participants will learn how to conduct robust Agent Assessments and build a governance architecture that empowers the business to move fast without breaking the enterprise.
