As financial institutions confront rapid digitisation, rising regulatory expectations, and increasingly sophisticated financial crime, senior leaders are reassessing how intelligence, control, and accountability are embedded across their operating models. Addressing this challenge, Inventic, N-able, and EGUARDIAN partnered to host an exclusive “CxO Executive Briefing on Agentic AI for Intelligent & Resilient Financial Institutions,” on the 17th of February 2026, at Cinnamon Life, Colombo.
The closed-door session designed for CEOs, CxOs, COOs, and business heads overseeing institutional risk, compliance, and operational resilience, explored how Agentic AI, a new class of AI systems capable of autonomous action, contextual reasoning, and full auditability, is being applied across critical banking control functions including risk and compliance, fraud management, and KYC and onboarding.
“Financial institutions are reaching a point where static, rules-based AI can no longer support both growth and regulatory expectations,” said Nitin Purwar, Co-Founder & Director, Inventic. “This briefing demonstrated how Agentic AI embeds intelligence directly into business decision-making, enabling banks to onboard customers faster, approve more low-risk customers, and assist in fraud and compliance journeys, while remaining fully explainable, auditable, and regulator-ready.”
As financial institutions move deeper into digital-first operating models, the conversation is no longer about adopting AI, but about governing it responsibly at scale. “Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in how intelligence is operationalised across risk, compliance, and decision-making. Through this partnership, we are helping banks move from fragmented controls to integrated, explainable, and regulator-aligned compliance posture that is built for resilience, not just efficiency,” said Shirantha Herath, CEO, N-able.
From a risk and governance perspective, the shift toward agentic systems reflects growing pressure on compliance teams to deliver consistency and transparency at scale. Mafaz Fahrid, CEO, EGUARDIAN, noted that institutions must now balance efficiency with supervisory confidence. “Agentic AI allows banks to reduce false positives, automate investigations, and maintain end-to-end risk visibility without compromising control or accountability,” he said.
The executive session featured live demonstrations, real-world insights, and board-level perspectives, followed by a private dinner and networking session.
