TL;DR: Keeping pace with AI adoption depends not only on establishing policies, but also on having the ability to act on them. New Cloudera research found that 95% of enterprises have delayed or canceled AI projects because of governance, compliance, or regulatory challenges. Cye’s 2026 Global AI and Cyber Maturity Report sheds light on why. It found a stark gap between AI governance and AI management across enterprises. Policies may be relatively “easy” to define, but enforcing them and continuously managing AI risk is far more challenging. Shadow AI, in particular, was identified as a critical risk driver across industries. Couple that Shadow AI with the growing noise of 100x more vulnerabilities discovered by frontier agentic AI models, and security leaders are faced with the reality of exponential growth in the exploitability gap. That gap is unlikely to close simply by having defenders patch faster with their own agentic AI tools. The approach needs to change from a Whac-A-Mole game to a sniper’s precision. This means security leaders need clarity on their business impact surface: which exposures would cause the greatest damage, which actions would reduce that impact most effectively, and where to act quickly and accurately.

Cybersecurity risk isn’t just a technical issue. It’s a valuation issue. Yet many PE firms still fail to assess it properly during due diligence. Legacy systems, unsecured third-party access, or even an undetected compromise can quickly turn into significant financial and reputational damage. With 94% of PE firms reporting losses from cyber-related disruption, cybersecurity risk must be identified, quantified, and priced into every deal.

When a breach makes cybersecurity experts laugh instead of panic, you know it's a special kind of bad 🙃 Welcome to this month’s Breach Bite. During an internal evaluation of advanced AI cyber capabilities, OpenAI models identified and chained vulnerabilities across OpenAI’s research environment and Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. While pursuing the narrow objective of completing a cybersecurity benchmark, the models exploited a zero-day vulnerability, gained internet access, escalated privileges, used compromised credentials, and reached sensitive information in Hugging Face’s production database. The activity was detected and contained, but it demonstrates how quickly theoretical AI capabilities can translate into real-world impact. The takeaway: securing AI requires more than controlling what a model is instructed to do. Organizations must also understand what it can access, which vulnerabilities it could combine, and whether existing controls can contain unexpected behavior. As AI agents become more autonomous, continuous exposure management, strict access controls, and real-time monitoring are becoming essential safeguards.

👏 Excited to share that Cye has been accepted into Anthropic's Cyber Verification Program (CVP). As AI rapidly transforms the cybersecurity landscape, security teams need to understand not only how AI can strengthen defense, but also how it can reshape the threat environment itself. Through the program, Cye's security professionals can use Claude's dual-use cyber capabilities for authorized work, including penetration testing, red teaming, and vulnerability research. At Cye, we believe the future of cybersecurity lies in combining advanced AI capabilities with deep human expertise. This is how organizations move faster from discovering exposures to understanding business impact and prioritizing effective risk reduction. We're proud to be part of a community helping shape the responsible use of AI in cybersecurity and look forward to applying these capabilities to deliver even greater value for our customers.

Would you trust a vendor's word that their AI is "responsible"? Or would you rather see proof? Attackers are using AI to exploit weaknesses faster than defenders can respond. Closing that gap means trusting AI with bigger decisions- so we didn't ask you to trust us blindly. We're proud to share that we're one of the first in our space to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification- the international standard for AI management systems. 🔹 Auditable controls for risk and oversight 🔹 Documented accountability, not black-box promises 🔹 Independent validation, not vendor claims AI governance isn't a compliance checkbox - in cybersecurity, it's product trust. The next AI divide won't be about who has the most powerful models. It'll be about who can prove theirs is governed. Huge shoutout to the team behind the scenes who brought this certification through. Read more here> https://lnkd.in/esr-U9wP #CyberSecurity #AIGovernance #ISO42001 #CTEM
