AI is exposing a security structure built for yesterday’s threats
EY's Jeffrey Sallet argues AI-driven deepfakes and impersonation require integrating cybersecurity, physical security, HR and legal functions.
The opinion piece contends AI-powered impersonation, deepfakes and automated social engineering cross digital, physical and operational boundaries that siloed security programs cannot cover. It cites an EY survey of 250 corporate leaders where only 12% feel most prepared to detect a targeted physical attack, and describes transnational groups using deepfakes and stolen identities to bypass virtual HR hiring loops. The author urges unified cross-functional verification pipelines and shared threat intelligence between CISOs and chief security officers.

New Italian unicorn Exein rides the physical AI wave
Italian IoT-security startup Exein raised $270 million at a $1.7 billion valuation to build a security layer for physical AI and edge devices.
Rome-based Exein raised a $270 million round led by Headline at a $1.7 billion valuation, becoming Italy's new unicorn, with plans for M&A and US/APAC expansion. The company claims over 2 billion connected devices secured across aerospace, industrial automation, automotive, energy, healthcare, and semiconductors using its Photon kernel-level runtime protection. Exein is training a foundational model for physical AI security on machine telemetry, targeted for Q1 2027, and reports 400% year-on-year growth. The EU Cyber Resilience Act, whose reporting obligations began last week, is expected to further boost demand.

15 Minutes Saved Per Alert: How a Lean German Manufacturer Protects 10,000 Endpoints with ANY.RUN
A five-person security team at a German manufacturer protecting 10,000 endpoints cut triage time by 15 minutes per alert after adopting ANY.RUN's cloud sandbox.
Philipp Z., Security Lead at a leading German manufacturer, described how a five-person team protects 10,000 endpoints and users using ANY.RUN's Interactive Sandbox in a private cloud. The firm previously relied on a single air-gapped forensic laptop running Flare VM, which caused 5-10 minute setup delays, single-user bottlenecks, and selective triage. The switch reportedly saved roughly 15 minutes per alert and reduced forced wiping and reimaging of user machines. ANY.RUN data cited in the piece puts manufacturing security workloads 22% above other major industries.
