The release of agentic AI is compressing the nature of patch management and
how defenders must prepare for the future of cyber attacks. This is
increasing pressure on patch velocity, compensating controls, and
dependency visibility.

Last week I joined fellow security leaders at CISO Inspire Summit North for a panel discussion on The Expanding Threat Surface: Adaptive Security Leadership for 2026 and Beyond.
It was a timely discussion, because the challenge facing security leaders today is not simply more threats. It is more connections, more dependencies, and more complexity. Suppliers, SaaS, identities, automation and distributed ways of working have all expanded the attack surface in ways that traditional control models often struggle to keep pace with.
One theme I returned to during the discussion was that many cyber risks are not new. They are often familiar control failures appearing at greater scale and speed.
That matters, because it shifts the focus from chasing every emerging technology risk to strengthening fundamentals.
Security fundamentals still matter most
Identity, ownership, visibility and resilience remain foundational.
As organisations scale, risk often hides where ownership is unclear, where no one truly owns a critical service, a supplier dependency, or a privileged access path.
Adaptive security leadership is not simply about adding more controls. It is about making sure the right controls are owned, evidenced, validated and able to hold under pressure.
Visibility alone is not assurance
Another discussion point was the danger of equating visibility with confidence.
Dashboards can inform. They do not, on their own, assure.
Confidence should come not just from seeing controls, but from evidence they work in practice.
That distinction matters even more as regulatory expectations increase and boards ask harder questions about resilience, not merely compliance.
Complexity is becoming a risk in itself
One point raised during the panel was that we may sometimes over-engineer controls while under-investing in fundamentals.
Complexity can create blind spots.
Adaptive leadership often means simplifying security, making the secure path the default, and reducing friction rather than adding layers that become difficult to sustain.
In many cases resilience improves not through more complexity, but through clearer ownership, stronger validation and simpler control design.
Zero Trust is a direction, not a destination
We also touched on Zero Trust, which is often discussed as an architectural ambition.
I tend to see it more practically.
Strong identity, least privilege, continuous validation and measurable progress matter far more than treating Zero Trust as a finished state.
It is less a destination than a discipline.
One practical takeaway
If there was one practical action I would emphasise, it would be this:
Final reflection
A strong message from the session was that adaptive security leadership today is increasingly about judgement, accountability and evidence.
Not just technology.
Not just compliance.
But proving controls hold when conditions are less than perfect.
That is where confidence is built.
Thanks again to the organisers, moderator and fellow panellists for a thoughtful discussion.

Apr 29, 2026 - Lina Romero - What is AI usage monitoring?
AI usage monitoring is the practice of logging, tracking, and analysing how employees and systems interact with AI tools, both sanctioned and unsanctioned. FireTail provides centralised AI activity logging that gives security teams a real-time view of AI usage across the entire organisation. Why can't traditional security tools monitor AI usage?
Traditional tools monitor file transfers, logins, and network traffic, not the content of AI interactions. FireTail fills that gap with AI-specific logging that captures what data is being sent to which AI systems and flags anomalies in real time. What is Shadow AI and how does monitoring help?
Shadow AI refers to unsanctioned AI tools adopted by employees without IT or security approval, often leading to undetected data exposure. AI usage monitoring surfaces these tools continuously, giving security teams the visibility they need before an incident forces the issue. FireTail's guide to detecting shadow AI covers the practical detection approach in detail. Isn't blocking AI tools enough?
Blocking reduces access to specific tools but does not stop the underlying behaviour. Employees route around restrictions using personal devices or tools that haven't been identified yet. Monitoring gives you control over the full picture, not just the tools you've thought to block. How does AI usage monitoring support compliance?
Regulations including the EU AI Act and GDPR require organisations to account for how personal data is processed by AI systems. AI usage logs provide the timestamped records and data flow evidence needed to respond to regulatory inquiries. FireTail's complete AI audit trail generates audit-ready reporting mapped to your compliance obligations. How does AI monitoring differ from general employee monitoring?
AI usage monitoring focuses specifically on interactions with AI systems and the data flowing through them, not general employee activity. The objective is security and compliance visibility, not performance tracking. FireTail's approach is scoped to AI risk, not broad employee surveillance. Does FireTail monitor agentic AI as well as standard tools?
Yes. FireTail extends monitoring to autonomous AI agents, tracking actions taken, tools used, and deviations from expected behaviour. This is covered in detail in the CISO's guide to safe autonomous agents.
