The cybersecurity industry has spent much of the last two years debating how attackers might use AI. That debate matters, but it misses a larger point: defenders now have an opportunity to change the economics of cyber risk.
For me, the question is not whether AI will influence cybersecurity. It already is. The real question is whether we can use it to help security teams move faster than risk accumulates, from manual review and ticketing toward continuous, machine-speed validation, prioritization, and remediation.
That is why Qualys welcomed the opportunity to participate, by invitation, in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber programs. These programs bring together leading technology and cybersecurity organizations to explore the security implications of advanced AI systems and help ensure they are deployed responsibly.
For Qualys, this work is practical. It is about helping customers prepare for a future in which software creation, vulnerability discovery, and remediation pressure all move faster than they do today.
