AI changed
the game.
The threats changed
faster.
AI now discovers and weaponizes vulnerabilities faster than any organization can patch them. 80+ CISOs from Google, Atlassian, and Netflix are racing to respond. We help you get ahead of it.

The Threat Landscape
In April 2026, a coalition of 80+ CISOs, SANS, OWASP, and the Cloud Security Alliance published an emergency strategy briefing. The message: AI-driven vulnerability discovery has collapsed exploitation windows to hours. The organizations that build "Mythos-ready" security programs now will define the next decade. The rest become case studies.

AI-Powered Attacks
AI-generated phishing has surged 1,265%. Deepfake fraud is up 2,137% over three years. 80% of ransomware now uses AI for reconnaissance and exfiltration.
The Skills Crisis
AI is the #1 most-needed security skill for the second year running, but 88% of organizations report security consequences from talent shortages they can't fill.
Shadow AI
98% of organizations have unsanctioned AI usage. 83% lack basic controls. Shadow AI adds $670K to average breach costs and 88% have had an AI agent security incident.
The AI Vulnerability Storm
AI models now find and exploit zero-days autonomously - 72% success rate, under $2K per exploit. Thousands of critical vulns discovered across every major OS and browser. Exploitation windows collapsed to hours.
Regulatory Convergence
EU AI Act fines up to 7% of global revenue. SEC now examining AI operations. NIST AI RMF is becoming procurement criteria. 43% of large firms still lack AI risk frameworks.
AI Agent Exploitation
Google DeepMind mapped 6 categories of attacks against AI agents. Prompt injections hijack agents in 86% of scenarios. Memory poisoning succeeds with less than 0.1% of data corrupted.
"The cadence and volume of vulnerability disclosures will exceed anything we have experienced before. We cannot outwork machine-speed threats."
CSA, SANS, and OWASP Coalition
80+ CISOs - "The AI Vulnerability Storm" - April 2026
The CSA coalition is clear: organizations must build "Mythos-ready" security programs across three horizons - immediate resilience, AI-powered defense, and strategic program evolution. The firms that invest in both sides of the AI security equation now will define the next decade.
Gartner projects global security spending at $240B in 2026. AI security platforms named a Top 10 Strategic Technology Trend. CSA/SANS recommend starting LLM-based vulnerability discovery immediately.
The Pillars
of Defense.
Four service areas, all grounded in real work. We build security programs, architect compliant systems, integrate AI into operations, and embed security into product development.
Security Program Building
For: Companies that need vulnerability management, security operations structure, or security strategy - and don't have one yet.
- Vulnerability management workflows and SLA tracking
- Security tool consolidation and optimization
- Dashboards and reporting that leadership actually uses
- Processes that scale without adding headcount
Track Record
73% critical vuln reduction, 83% cost savings, 30% to 90% asset visibility - built from scratch for a Fortune 500 digital media portfolio.
Security Architecture & Compliance
For: Companies in cloud migrations, product launches, or regulated industries who need security designed in - not bolted on at the end.
- Cloud security architecture and threat modeling
- Compliance readiness: PCI-DSS, NIST, FFIEC, SOC2
- Security evaluation frameworks for architecture proposals
- Security-focused code and configuration review
Track Record
Zero critical findings at launch for a major Caribbean bank. 100% NIST 800-53 compliance for satellite ground systems. Cloud security advisory for Fortune 500 clients.
AI Integration for Security Ops
For: Security teams that need to match machine-speed threats with machine-speed defense - finding vulnerabilities before attackers do, and accelerating every operation.
- LLM-powered vulnerability discovery (VulnOps) - find bugs before attackers do
- Agentic workflows for triage, alerting, and incident response
- AI-accelerated red teaming and automated security assessments
- Custom tooling and data centralization across security platforms
Currently Building
Leading AI integration across a full cybersecurity unit - SOC, Threat Intel, Enterprise Architecture, and Vulnerability Management.
Secure Product Development
For: Companies building software products who want security embedded in the development lifecycle - especially when integrating AI features.
- Threat modeling for new features and integrations (STRIDE)
- OWASP assessment and hardening
- Secure architecture patterns for AI-powered features
- Security-focused code review for critical paths
In Practice
Built Syncmerch with production security patterns - PKCE OAuth, least-privilege IAM, OWASP hardening, CloudWatch audit trails.
A repeatable process
for every engagement.
Assess
Map your AI agent exposure, vulnerability landscape, and compliance posture. Deliver a prioritized risk scorecard.
1-2 WeeksArchitect
Design security controls, hardening plans, and AI integration strategy before any code is written.
1-2 WeeksHarden
Implement controls, deploy monitoring, secure AI pipelines, and validate with red team testing.
2-4 WeeksOperate
Continuous monitoring, quarterly assessments, patch management, and incident response.
OngoingBoth sides of the AI threat
AI consultancies don't think about security. Cybersecurity firms don't understand agentic AI. We secure AI agents against manipulation and use AI to harden infrastructure. One partner for the full picture.
AI-native operations
We deliver outcomes at software-like efficiency. Not billable hours on advisory decks. Not 90-day engagements for a PDF.
Security in every layer
Every system we build, every workflow we automate, every agent we deploy - security is designed in from the start, not bolted on after an incident.
Proof of Work
We don't just advise.
We build.
