Is trust holding back automated remediation?

AI Security Brief ·

2026/10/08

The “AI trust paradox” in cybersecurity goes like this: organizations invest in AI automation, then hold back from fully implementing it.

Can you trust AI with critical infrastructure?

AI Security Brief ·

2026/09/24

In traditional IT, isolating a compromised endpoint can stop an attack. In operational technology (OT) environments, that same action could disrupt control of a pipeline, cause a rupture, or trigger environmental damage.That’s why adopting AI in critical infrastructure requires a fundamentally different security approach. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience across energy, pipelines, aerospace, and defense, Jason Cradit, CTO and CISO at Everline, explains how security leaders can move

Attackers aren't just using AI to steal data; they're using it to fight back while you investigate them in real time. And once an adversary is inside, why would they ever want to leave?

Her fix: stop building a separate AI team, upend your identity thinking,

At Pwn2Own Berlin 2026, a security researcher used agentic AI to help her win.
