In the course of my work with LLMs, I’ve been examining a recurring pattern in how large language models are being used inside real systems. In many settings, I observed that LLMs are treated as planners where they are used to generate multi-step workflows, remediation strategies, operational playbooks, and even “autonomous” action sequences. These plans… Read More »Why LLMs Are Not Planning Machines (And What It Means)
A CISO’s reference for evaluating modern web app pentesting programs, what AI actually changes, and how to tell platforms apart from LLM wrappers. Quick Answer Web application penetration testing in 2026 looks structurally different from the annual consulting model most enterprises still run. The shift is driven by three mismatches: applications change daily but get… Read More »Web Application Penetration Testing in 2026: A Practical Guide for CISOs
AI is accelerating how fast attackers find vulnerabilities, build exploits, and make decisions. The question for security leaders is how to adapt without overreacting to the hype. A CISO Platform community panel of the same name took up that question with a global group: FireCompass founder and CEO Bikash Barai moderating, co-founder Arnab Chattopadhayay, a… Read More »The Mythos Threat Is Real: How CISOs Should Respond
On April 6, 2026, IRDAI issued revised Information and Cybersecurity Guidelines that go far beyond a regulatory refresh. They signal a fundamental shift in how India’s insurance sector must think about cyber risk — from compliance checkbox to continuous, board-accountable security. If you’re a CISO at an insurer, intermediary, web aggregator, or IIB, here’s what… Read More »IRDAI 2026 Cybersecurity Guidelines: What Changed? How To Respond?
What our firsthand experience building pentest agents taught us about verifiability, benchmark saturation, and where human researchers still matter most Our firsthand experience with application pentest agents at FireCompass has been unexpected. When we started building them, I assumed AI would become a useful force multiplier for researchers. I did not expect it to start… Read More »Why AI May Disrupt Application Pentesting Earlier Than Most Security Teams Expect
