CISOs outline 2027 strategies with AI automation and passwordless systems
Original title: What a security strategy that survives 2027 looks like
Equifax CISO Jeremy Koppen and others emphasize AI-driven operations, tailored risk ratings, and identity controls for enterprise AI agents in 2027.
Equifax CISO Jeremy Koppen describes evolving security strategies around AI for faster attacks and defenses, passwordless authentication, and automated SOC work. Carnegie Mellon CISO Omar Khawaja stresses the need for transformation to handle geopolitics and quantum threats. CISOs are moving away from static credentials and manual processes toward AI agents and context-aware risk management.
- Equifax eliminated passwords for 22,000 employees and contractors.
- 32% of organizations use AI extensively for threat detection and IR.
- 63% expect extensive AI use in detection and IR by 2027.
