Netskope: Beyond the Framework: Turning AI Governance into Active Control
Discussion Points
1. Building the foundation to say yes
What must be in place — discovery, data controls and identity that extends to agents — before "yes" becomes a starting position rather than a risk acceptance.
2. Preparing the network for AI
Legacy VPN and backhauled traffic add latency and complexity. What does an AI-ready network look like, and who owns it?
3. The true cost of AI
Where do the costs sit, and how are FinOps and cross-charging working in practice?
4. Proving the ROI of yes
What evidence moves AI from pilot to production, and how do you show the board it's working?
5. Choosing the agency of agents
How much autonomy do agents get, and who decides? Which actions need a human in the loop?
6. From governance framework to active control
What does enforcement look like when policy has to work in real time, not just in a document?
Beyond the Framework: Turning AI Governance into Active Control
The board wants AI adopted, and wants it now. Most security and technology leaders have accepted that "no" isn't an option. Far fewer feel confident in their "yes."
Research from Netskope and Cybersecurity Insiders shows the gap. AI is deployed in 73% of organisations, but only 7% have governance that enforces security policy in real time. Frameworks, committees and acceptable-use policies are in place. Active control is not.
This peer-led roundtable brings together CISOs, CIOs and Heads of Network Infrastructure & Operations to talk about the next step in securing AI: turning governance on paper into controls that work at the speed of the business. Together we'll explore what it takes to be an Architect of Yes — building the foundations, network and visibility that let you approve AI with confidence instead of reluctance.
