SUMMARY:Bridging the resilience gap: achieving effective BCM for the future
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nAcross the EMEA region\, organizations face an intricate web of modern disruptions:  macroeconomic pressures\, geopolitical instability\, regulatory changes and accelerating technological shifts. While most business continuity leaders report confidence in their resilience programs\, when disruption occurs\, dependency maps don’t hold up\, and recovery targets are missed. Traditional\, siloed approaches to continuity management often create an illusion of preparedness\, leaving critical operations unmapped and exposing organizations to unforeseen vulnerabilities when a live crisis hits. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will share findings from Optro’s new survey of 500 business continuity leaders worldwide\, including key data from Europe\, the UK\, and the Middle East. Drawing on these insights\, we will examine why mature continuity frameworks can still falter during disruptions\, focusing on regional friction points such as third-party concentration risk\, hidden ecosystem dependencies\, and fragmented internal silos. We will discuss how the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and automated systems is introducing entirely new failure modes that traditional resilience programs aren’t prepared to handle. Attendees will learn how to break down internal silos\, synchronizing risk disciplines\, and evolving BCM from a static exercise into a dynamic capability built for long-term operational resilience. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nIdentify and diagnose the “Resilience Gap” within your own organization by evaluating the common friction points between internal confidence metrics and actual operational readiness during a disruption.\n\n\n\nArchitect an integrated dependency framework that moves beyond basic contract management to map upstream and downstream processes and evaluate their criticality to your organization.\n\n\n\nNavigate regulatory requirements for business continuity\, resiliency\, and testing to maintain compliance and provide value to your organization.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Management Services \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None  \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.

SUMMARY:Agentic AI & autonomous workflows: New governance risks and guardrails
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nAgentic AI presents unique governance challenges. This webinar provides a practical model for where\, how\, and when to place guardrails across the agent lifecycle. We will dissect how autonomous workflows create new exposures — cascading errors across multi-step chains\, ambiguous accountability when an agent acts\, excessive or unintended permissions\, prompt and tool-poisoning attacks\, and the difficulty of reconstructing what an agent did and why. \n\n\n\nDrawing on emerging practice\, we will map these risks to concrete control placements: pre-action authorization gates\, scoped permissions and least-privilege tool access\, human-in-the-loop checkpoints calibrated to action severity\, behavioral monitoring and circuit breakers\, and audit-grade logging of agent reasoning and decisions. \n\n\n\nRather than treating agentic AI as either a novelty to ban or a black box to accept\, this session equips risk\, compliance\, and internal audit professionals with a structured way to evaluate autonomous workflows\, identify the control points that matter most\, and design proportionate guardrails that preserve the value of automation without surrendering oversight. Attendees will leave with a practical framework they can apply to agentic deployments already emerging in their organizations. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Identify the principal governance risks unique to autonomous workflows\, including cascading and compounding errors\, permission and privilege escalation\, accountability gaps\, adversarial manipulation of tools and instructions\, and reduced explainability.\n\n\n\nMap control points across the agent lifecycle\, determining where guardrails belong — at planning\, authorization\, tool invocation\, action execution\, and post-action review — and why placement matters.\n\n\n\nDiscuss technical and procedural guardrails\, including least-privilege tool scoping\, pre-action approval gates\, behavioral monitoring\, kill-switches and circuit breakers\, and audit-grade logging of agent reasoning and decisions.\n\n\n\nEvaluate accountability and ownership structures\, applying the three-lines model to clarify who is responsible when an autonomous agent causes harm or error.\n\n\n\nAssess an agentic deployment in their own organization using a structured evaluation approach to surface gaps and prioritize guardrail investments.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation.

SUMMARY:Why AI governance is the foundation of secure MCP adoption
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nMCP (model context protocol) is rapidly emerging as the standard for connecting AI systems with enterprise data and business processes. However\, many organisations focus on technology before addressing a more fundamental challenge: governance readiness. \n\n\n\nSuccessful MCP adoption depends on more than secure architecture and technical controls. It requires clear ownership\, cross-functional accountability\, trusted data sources\, auditability\, and governance structures capable of supporting AI-enabled decision-making across the enterprise. \n\n\n\nThis session explores how organisations can move from fragmented governance ecosystems (where risk\, compliance\, audit\, legal\, quality\, and security operate in silos) toward a shared organisational context that enables responsible and scalable AI adoption. \n\n\n\nDrawing on practical governance experience and research into governance under uncertainty\, the session highlights common governance pitfalls that can undermine AI initiatives\, including accountability gaps\, siloed decision-making\, and symbolic governance practices. \n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with a practical framework for assessing governance readiness\, aligning key stakeholders\, and establishing the governance foundations that transform MCP from a technical implementation into a strategic business capability. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nAssess your organisation’s MCP-readiness across ownership\, accountability\, auditability\, and policy frameworks.\n\n\n\nIdentify governance fragmentation risks that can undermine AI-enabled decision-making and MCP initiatives.\n\n\n\nBuild a practical roadmap for creating shared organisational context and cross-functional governance alignment.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation.

SUMMARY:Bridging the resilience gap: Achieving effective BCM for the future
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nIn an increasingly volatile business landscape\, organizations face an intricate web of modern disruptions: geopolitical instability\, cyber conflicts\, and accelerating technological shifts.

SUMMARY:Getting started with AI for internal audit
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nInternal audit teams know AI could reshape how they work\, but knowing where to begin is something else entirely. The market is crowded with tools\, the vocabulary is unfamiliar\, and the distance between a polished demo and a deployment that holds up under regulatory scrutiny is wide. Many organizations stall before they start\, unsure whether to build their own solutions or buy off the shelf\, wary of the misconceptions that quietly derail early efforts. \n\n\n\nThis session draws on the real AI journeys of two major enterprises\, Yahoo and Verizon\, to show what a credible path forward actually looks like. Through candid lessons learned\, you will see how each team moved from experimentation to adoption\, the pitfalls they hit along the way\, and the framework they used to weigh building versus buying. We will also tackle the question every audit leader is asking: How do you keep pace when the technology shifts every few months? \n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with a grounded\, practical \n\n\n\nperspective and the confidence to take a meaningful first step toward AI adoption. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:  \n\n\n\n\n Examine how Yahoo and Verizon deployed AI in internal audit and the lessons that shaped each rollout.\n\n\n\nIdentify the most common pitfalls and misconceptions that stall AI adoption and the practices to avoid them.\n\n\n\nApply a build-versus-buy framework to evaluate AI tools and keep pace with a rapidly changing landscape.\n\n\n\n\nCPE credit(s): 1 CPE upon live viewing and participation. CPEs not offered on-demand. \n\n\n\nField of study: Information technology \n\n\n\nInstructional delivery method: Group Internet Based \n\n\n\nLevel: Basic \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: None \n\n\n\nAdvanced preparation: None \n\n\n\n*Click here for more CPE information.
