Cybersecurity, AI Governance & Digital Risk

Freshfields Partner Megan Kayo will be speaking on a panel titled "AI Agents and the Expanding Attack Surface: Managing Action Risk, Access and Accountability" during the ACI's Summit on Cybersecurity, AI Governance & Digital Risk taking place on February 2-3, 2027 in Washington, DC.

As AI agents become embedded in business operations, organizations must manage tools that can access sensitive data, execute workflows, interact with third parties and act with increasing autonomy. This session will focus on how legal, privacy, cybersecurity, compliance and business teams can enable agentic AI while maintaining control over security, accountability and liability.

• Defining ownership, escalation paths and decision-making authority for AI agents that can act across enterprise systems
• Reducing security and privacy risk by tightening controls around data access, permissions, identity, monitoring and sensitive information handling
• Negotiating stronger vendor protections around data ownership, model training, sub-processors, audit rights, incident coordination and accountability for agentic services
• Managing the shift from content risk to action risk as AI agents create new concerns around unauthorized decisions, unintended outcomes and operational disruption

Speakers:

• Matt Bodman, VP, Senior Managing Counsel, Corporate Secretary, Mastercard
• Megan Kayo, Partner, Freshfields
• Marine Margaryan, Privacy Counsel, Lyft
