Cybersecurity AI Weekly
Hi there,
Welcome to this week's edition of Cybersecurity AI Weekly.
A report by SandboxAQ shows a disparity between AI adoption and security readiness, with 79% of organizations using AI but only 6% having a comprehensive AI-native security strategy. Meanwhile, Commvault has announced its intent to acquire Satori Cyber, a company focused on data and AI security, to bolster its cyber resilience platform. This acquisition is set to enhance the management of sensitive data and AI governance in complex cloud environments.
Knexus has acquired S4 to enhance AI solutions for the U.S. government, aiming to integrate S4's IT and cybersecurity expertise with Knexus' AI capabilities. Additionally, a study by Carnegie Mellon University and Anthropic demonstrates that large language models can autonomously plan and execute cyberattacks, replicating incidents like the 2017 Equifax breach. On July 25, 2025, NST Cyber announced the preview release of AtlasAI, an AI-driven platform designed to standardize vulnerability data and prioritize threats using real-time intelligence.
