Business Impact of Weaponized AI Agents

I'm Pamela Gupta—2025 Joseph J. Wasserman Award Honoree, the highest honor in information security and risk governance. I'm globally ranked number three in Risk Management and number seven in Cybersecurity by Thinkers360.

But here's what I'm most proud of: I help organizations turn AI from a risk into revenue. In my work across 120 countries and with Fortune 500 companies, I've operationalized AI governance frameworks that don't just check compliance boxes—they enable business teams to launch AI initiatives in 60 days instead of staying stuck for months.

I created the AI TIPS framework—Trust, Integrity, Pillars, and Sustainability—four years before NIST published their AI Risk Management Framework. I've advised the U.S. Department of Defense on AI strategy. I've built AI Centers of Excellence for critical infrastructure companies. And I've designed governance systems on platforms like IBM watsonx that automate policy enforcement while enabling innovation at scale.

My mission is simple: De-risk AI adoption so organizations can confidently embrace the most transformative technology of our generation. Because when AI governance is done right, it's not a barrier—it's an accelerator."

Good [morning/afternoon] everyone. Today we're going to talk about one of the most significant AI security vulnerabilities discovered in 2024—and why it matters to every organization deploying AI agents.

This is ForcedLeak. CVSS 9.4. Critical severity. It affected Salesforce Agentforce, a platform used by thousands of enterprise customers.

This episode is for any and every organization to hear and act on as AI gets integrated into every product globally.
