Summary of a closed-door CISO roundtable, hosted by CISO Platform with FireCompass, August 2026. Held under Chatham House convention. Senior security leaders spent a session on three questions. What does it cost to run an AI pentesting agent at full speed? What has to be true architecturally before you point one at production. And what… Read More »Implementing Agentic AI Pentesting While Managing Risk and Cost
Annual red teams scope to a stale asset list. See how continuous automated red teaming (CART) discovers, exploits, and chains findings weekly instead.
Plenty of organizations end a quarter with a clean Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) dashboard and a real breach in the same window. That is not a contradiction. It is a category being asked to answer a question it was never built to answer. BAS tells you whether your controls catch known attacker techniques. That… Read More »Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS): What It Validates, and How It Differs from CART, AI Pen Testing, and COST
In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, a stark new reality has emerged: the window for exploiting vulnerabilities has drastically reduced to an average of just three days. This alarming trend, highlighted in recent analyses by Mandiant and other security experts, underscores an urgent need for organizations to revamp their vulnerability management strategies to combat increasingly sophisticated… Read More »Time to Exploit Vulnerabilities Now Just 3 Days
