Accelerate
Safe AI at Scale
Know your data, control AI risk, and recover fast
12 May 2026 I Online
A complimentary ITWeb & ITWeb Africa webinar brought to you in partnership with Veeam Software South Africa.
12 May 2026 - 11:00 (GMT+2)
Detect, protect and undo AI agent risk!
Many organisations are trying to scale AI without full visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it is classified, and who has access to it. This increases privacy and compliance risk, slows adoption, and reduces stakeholder confidence, particularly as AI tools and agentic workflows expand across the business.
Tahir Latif
Join Tahir Latif, Chief Trust Officer, EMEA, Securiti.ai, Veeam, who will open the webinar with a data-first approach. Tahir will cover data discovery and classification as the foundation for visibility, ownership, and control. He will then connect these foundations to AI and privacy guardrails and the role of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) in continuously identifying and reducing exposure as environments change.
Mark Govender
Tahir will be joined by Mark Govender, Manager: Technical Sales, Africa, Veeam, who will align these requirements to a solution view, including Agent Commander, enabled by Securiti AI and Veeam (starting with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365). Mark will outline how organisations can strengthen readiness by detecting AI-related data risk, protecting critical information, and, where supported, rapidly undo harmful changes through precision rollback.
The webinar will delve into the following:
Why Safe AI at Scale starts with a trusted data foundation
How data discovery and classification support governance, security, and audit readiness
Practical AI and privacy guardrails that can be implemented across the organisation
How DSPM helps identify sensitive data exposure, over-permissioning, and posture drift
How Agent Commander supports a Detect, Protect, and Undo approach, including precision rollback for supported workloads (starting with Microsoft 365)
Why should you attend?
Gain a practical roadmap for scaling AI responsibly, starting with data visibility and control
Reduce privacy and compliance exposure as AI adoption expands
Understand how DSPM supports continuous risk reduction in dynamic environments
Learn how recovery readiness can reduce the business impact of AI-related incidents
