Artificial intelligence tools are entering manufacturing environments through the side door, and most organizations have no governance in place to manage the risk. Christian Moreira of McKesson examines how OT engineers using consumer AI tools without oversight are creating new attack vectors, exposing sensitive data and introducing silent breaches that evade traditional monitoring.

This session will cover:

• How shadow AI in OT environments creates data exfiltration risks, proprietary system exposure, and the potential for highly targeted social engineering and supply chain attacks;
• What the consequences of uncontrolled AI adoption look like in practice - from intellectual property loss and regulatory penalties to operational disruption and reputational damage;
• How to build an AI governance framework for manufacturing, including policy development, data loss prevention, employee training and vendor assessment processes.
