SASE’s Role in Securing AI Adoption
OnlineAI adoption is accelerating across enterprises – from generative AI tools to AI-driven cloud services – fundamentally reshaping how users access data, applications, and cloud environments. While these technologies unlock new efficiencies, they also introduce new risks, visibility gaps, and enforcement challenges for security teams.

With AI-driven usage patterns, shadow AI tools, and increasingly automated threats, traditional network security models and fragmented SASE architectures are no longer sufficient. Join Amit Bareket, VP SASE, Jonathan Zanger, CTO at Check Point, and Adrian Sanabria, Principal Researcher at The Defenders Initiative, for a strategic discussion on how modern SASE architectures can deliver the visibility, policy enforcement, and adaptive protection required in an AI-first enterprise. This webinar will cover: How AI adoption is changing enterprise traffic patterns, access behavior, and risk exposure Why legacy network security and siloed controls struggle in AI-driven environments The role of AI-powered visibility, analytics, and real-time policy enforcement within modern SASE What security leaders should look for in a SASE platform to enable AI innovation without compromising control Gain […]
