When the Trigger Pulls Itself: Agentic AI and the End of the Human-in-the-Loop
Every weapon in history extended a human decision. Agentic systems are the first that try to replace it — and the security implications are not theoretical.

From Prevention to Resilience: Cybersecurity’s New Paradigm
As breaches become inevitable, organizations must focus on operational resilience, not just perimeter defense.

CISOs Are Being Handed the Business Risk Portfolio. Most Aren't Ready.
Security chiefs at Appfire, JumpCloud, and BECU describe how they're learning to own risks that finance and operations used to call their own.

When Every Finding Looks Urgent: The Case for Adversarial Exposure Validation
Visibility isn't the bottleneck anymore. Deciding what an actual operator would touch is.

Cybersecurity Never Built a Health Model. AI Just Made That Inexcusable.
Thirty years of reactive security looked fine when threats moved at human speed. They don't anymore.

The Patch Window Is Closed: Why CISOs Are Quietly Reallocating to BAS
Vulnerability management was built around a buffer between disclosure and weaponization. Generative tooling is collapsing that buffer, and breach-and-attack simulation budgets are absorbing the panic.

The Gap Between the Tools Is Where Networks Break
More dashboards, more telemetry, more AI copilots — and outages still drag on for hours. The problem isn't visibility. It's the handoff.

Mythos Isn't Vapor: Inside the SAST Tool Quiet-Skeptics Are Starting to Believe
A short defense of a controversial static analysis startup, and what its findings actually look like under the hood.

Corporate Cyber Readiness Is a Compliance Exercise. The Military Treats It as Combat.
Enterprise incident response still runs on annual tabletops and audit checkboxes. That gap between posture and practice is exactly what attackers count on.

The AI SOC Hit Production. Only 10% of Buyers Call It Excellent.
Budgets shifted fast. Outcomes lagged. What the next wave of agentic SOC tooling has to prove before renewal season.

The Patch Window Is Now Measured in Hours
AI-assisted exploit development has collapsed the time between disclosure and mass exploitation. Traditional vulnerability management workflows weren't built for this pace.

EDR Is Table Stakes. Operationalizing It Is the Hard Part.
Detection telemetry only matters if someone is reading it at 3 a.m. — and most teams still aren't.

Seven Ways Tabletop Exercises Lie to You About Your Incident Response
Cybersecurity drills that feel productive can quietly manufacture false confidence. Here's where they go wrong — and what to do instead.

The vCISO Tool Is Dead. MSPs Now Need a Security Growth Platform.
What started as assessment-and-report software has to grow up — or get replaced by something that actually runs a security practice.

The Gaps CISOs Keep Losing Sleep Over — And Why They're Getting Harder to Close
Proofpoint's 2025 survey found 58% of organizations unprepared to respond to a cyberattack. The reasons why are structural, not just technical.
