AWARE 2025: Closing the Visibility Control Gap

AI isn’t “on the way.” It’s already inside the workflows, tools, and cloud apps moving your data. And too often, that data is leaving your control before you even know it’s gone. The real challenge goes beyond just seeing the risk, It’s acting in time to stop it. That’s the Visibility-Control Gap — and in an AI-driven world, it’s widening fast.

In this opening session, Ryan Windham shares what it takes to close that gap. You’ll hear how teams are combining real-time visibility with adaptive controls and automated protection to keep sensitive data safe without slowing down the business. This is about making AI work for you, not against you — and turning data security into an advantage instead of a roadblock.

• Greater visibility alone isn’t solving today’s risk
• The “Visibility-Control Gap” is becoming a new attack surface
• AI is helping security teams recognize vulnerabilities and adapt fast
