Every data team is shipping agents, but who governs them? This session explores what happens when agentic AI meets regulated data environments. Learn how Alation's knowledge layer, combining Agent Studio, MCP servers, and a unified lineage and data quality platform, transforms compliance from a manual burden into an automated workflow. Using OSFI's E-21 directive as a real-world test case, discover how banks can achieve column-level CDE governance, audit-ready evidence and regulator-grade lineage, all built on the Alation platform. Walk away with a blueprint for turning your data catalog into an active compliance engine.

Governance today is too manual, slow, and disconnected from business outcomes. As regulatory pressure grows and AI moves into production, many teams struggle to scale policies and tools. Join Gary Dugan, SVP, Head of Data Management Execution, Truist, and Jonathan Bruce, VP & Field CTO, Alation, to learn how Truist is shifting to outcome-driven governance, using intelligent agents to scale oversight, reduce risk, and enable AI with confidence.
