Had coffee with a CISO friend last month. She told us something we haven't been able to shake: "I got a standing ovation from the board after my quarterly update. Two weeks later, my budget got cut, my AI governance proposal got tabled, and engineering shipped three new LLM features without telling me." That gap between what orgs say about cybersecurity and what they actually fund defines the seat in 2026. We kept hearing versions of it. So we wrote it down. 10 challenges. 30+ primary research sources. No vendor spin. Want the full paper? Drop a comment below, and we'll send it over. 👇 #CISO #Cybersecurity #AIGovernance #CSO #fortune500 #startup

The security review is quietly the longest stop in your sales cycle. Vendor risk assessments and questionnaires now add 2–4 weeks to the average B2B deal. For CISOs, that's revenue sitting in your inbox. We think security should accelerate the business — and AI is finally making that real, turning weeks of questionnaire wrangling into hours. We'll be at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, June 1–3, National Harbor. Sasha Sinkevich, Jon McLachlan would love to compare notes on using AI to compress review cycles without trading away rigor. Booth 739. If deal acceleration through security is on your roadmap, let's grab time. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgyqnMf6 #GartnerSEC #CISO #AISecurity

Calif used Anthropic's Mythos AI to break Apple's M5 Memory Integrity Enforcement in 5 days. Apple will patch it. The thing nobody's talking about is what happens to vendor due diligence when finding zero-days gets ten times cheaper. Our founders Jon McLachlan and Sasha Sinkevich wrote up what security and revenue teams should be doing about it. Worth a read if your buyers' security reviews have been getting longer. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d6CZkE2Z #cybersecurity #B2BSaaS #vendorrisk

For 14 years, Rafeeq Rehman's CISO MindMap has been one of the best snapshots of how the CISO role is evolving. The 2026 edition dropped in April and focuses on: → Adapting to AI → Reducing tool sprawl → Staying ahead of old threats → Taking care of security teams We shared our take on each — plus what feels like the unwritten fifth priority: security leaders increasingly driving revenue through Trust Centers, due diligence automation, and contract review.
