When AI Becomes an Insider: Rethinking Risk in Critical Infrastructure (Aug. 18th)
Tuesday, August 18th, 2026: 12 PM to 1:00 PM
In this 60-minute fireside chat, Dawn Haley, Senior Manager of Threat Intelligence & Investigations at Duke Energy, joins Scott Hooper, Enterprise Sales Director at DTEX, to share practical perspectives on how critical infrastructure organizations are adapting insider risk strategies as AI becomes more embedded into everyday work, security operations, and business workflows.
Virtual
For critical infrastructure leaders, the rapid adoption of AI is introducing a new insider risk challenge: how to enable innovation while maintaining visibility, governance, and accountability across people, data, and AI activity.
Together, they will examine how human and AI-driven activity, from evolving data access patterns to the use of autonomous agents, create new blind spots for security teams. The conversation will focus on how organizations can shift toward proactive, intelligence-led approaches to detect and mitigate risk earlier.
Attendees will gain practical insight into:
- Using behavioral context to understand how people, data, and AI create risk
- Monitoring behavior and risk as AI innovation accelerates
- Aligning stakeholders from security, compliance, and operations in highly regulated, resource-constrained environments
Designed specifically for critical infrastructure leaders, this session will provide actionable strategies for building resilient insider risk programs that evolve alongside AI while maintaining operational continuity and business velocity.
