“We Think the Security Control Is Working” Is No Longer Good Enough
Opinion piece argues CISOs must replace point-in-time, sampling-based audits with continuous control monitoring to prove controls work in real time.
The article contends that annual, sampling-based compliance assessments no longer satisfy boards, customers, and regulators who demand live proof that security controls are working. It cites a 2025 Dell study where 69 percent of IT professionals said leadership overestimates cyber readiness, and notes NIST's 2024 CSF update added a Govern function emphasizing continuous, measurable outcomes. The author advocates continuous control monitoring of identity, cloud configuration drift, vulnerability remediation clocks, and vendor posture, feeding automated evidence into existing GRC systems.

The inconvenient truth about AI pentesting: someone has to check all the work
Survey of 158 practitioners shows AI pentesting floods teams with findings, creating 'validation debt' most teams cannot process.
The article argues AI pentesting creates 'validation debt': discovery scales far faster than teams' ability to verify AI-generated findings. In a survey of 158 practitioners, only 20.3% had workflows to triage more than 500 AI-generated candidates per engagement, while 29.7% called such volume unmanageable. One respondent spent two days validating 300 AI findings, of which 250 were duplicates, non-exploitable, or nonexistent. The author recommends capacity planning, ruthless deduplication, and risk-based prioritization before adopting AI pentesting tools.
