Recap: ISACA 2026 | Iva Amos and Kacie Schwartz

Why It Matters

With enterprises accelerating deployment of agentic AI, inadequate governance creates a critical vulnerability that heightens operational and regulatory risk. Firms and risk managers must prioritize concrete evaluation and control measures or face potential security, compliance, and business continuity consequences.

Summary

At ISACA North America in Las Vegas, Infosec’s Iva Amos delivered a well-attended session highlighting rising concern over AI security and governance. Attendees pressed for practical risk-evaluation tips as organizations rapidly adopt agentic AI systems. Amos said agentic AI governance — managing autonomous agents deployed at lightning speed — is the recurring, unresolved issue across multiple conferences this year. The session underscored a widening governance gap as companies deploy agents before controls are fully understood.
