Artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations defend against cyber threats and how risks emerge. For internal auditors and risk professionals, understanding the intersection of AI and cybersecurity is no longer optional. Yet, the challenge is not just technical: it’s about governance, assurance, and real-world risk exposure.
This session offers a practical, middle-ground exploration of how AI is being used in cybersecurity today, what risks it creates, and how internal auditors can incorporate AI-relevant insights into their risk and assurance processes. The goal is not to teach algorithms, but to equip you with tools and perspectives you can use in your next audit or risk assessment.
In this webinar, we will cover:
• How AI is Currently Applied in Cybersecurity: Real, common use cases where AI supports security functions and where risks can hide.
• Practical Risks Internal Auditors Should Know: From data governance issues to control blind spots created by AI-enabled systems.
• Easy-to-Use Audit and Risk Steps: Five practical approaches auditors can adopt immediately in workplace assessments.
We will discuss relatable scenarios such as:
1. AI-Driven Threat Detection in Security Operations: How machine learning flags anomalies and what auditors should look for in model governance and oversight.
2. AI-Assisted Authentication & Access Controls: Behavioral analytics helping identity verification and risks when decision logic isn’t documented or monitored.
3. AI Chat Tools and Data Exposure: Employees using generative AI tools and risks of sensitive data leakage or inappropriate data sharing.
4. AI in Third-Party Security Services: Risks when vendors include AI features and what internal audit should consider in vendor risk assessments.
This webinar is designed for:
• Internal auditors
• Risk & compliance officers
• GRC professionals
• Security assurance leaders
• Operational auditors
• Cybersecurity professionals
• AI professionals
• Anyone interested in understanding AI risks from a governance perspective

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Understand where AI touches your cybersecurity environment, including sanctioned and shadow uses
- Develop the ability to look beyond “does it work?” to “are controls in place and documented?”
- Evaluate whether AI systems have measurable controls and monitoring built in
- Apply frameworks like COSO, NIST AI RMF, or ISO guidance in real audit scenarios
- Use simple checklists, control questions, and risk indicators that don’t require technical coding knowledge
