Nagomi Security

Is your mind racing at "0 to 60"? We all know, cyber is a high-pressure environment (our CISO Pressure Index also confirmed this). We are conditioned to react instantly, but rarely taught how to decompress effectively. That’s why we recently teamed up with Meditation House to change that. We walked through practical, "eyes-open" breathing techniques that help you regain control during high-stress moments. The feedback was incredible, so we are doing it again. Next Session: December 4th. 12pm ET. 30 minutes. Pure focus. No sales pitch. Sign up below: https://lnkd.in/eSwn8BKf 

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Nagomi! As we gather around the table today, we’re filled with gratitude: for our incredible team whose dedication and passion drive everything we do, and for the opportunity to connect, reflect, and celebrate with friends and family. This season reminds us of what truly matters: community, kindness, and the people who make every day meaningful. Wishing everyone a joyful, restful, and heartwarming Thanksgiving! 🍁💛

The AI Question Every CISO Must Answer The AI-driven scams highlighted in today’s The Hacker News article are just one example of how quickly adversaries are scaling reconnaissance, social engineering, and account takeover efforts. Nagomi’s new CISO Pressure Index captures this shift clearly: • 59% of CISOs now see agentic AI as their top near-term threat, and nearly one in five recent incidents already involve AI. • At the same time, 82% of CISOs are under pressure to use AI to increase efficiency, often while managing with fewer resources. This leaves security leaders with a defining question: How do you adopt the same technology fueling attackers while still strengthening defense? The answer is intentional adoption paired with control and continuous validation. AI must help teams surface true risk, confirm that controls work as expected, and keep pace with attackers who are now operating at machine speed. Head to the comments for the full CISO Pressure Index and Hacker News article for anyone who wants to dive deeper.

A world without CISOs is a world on the brink of collapse. We often don't see the work of a CISO until something goes wrong. But as Tyson Kopczynski explains in the upcoming series "CISO: Holding the Line", their true value lies in the disasters that don't happen. He describes a world without CISOs as "challenging". This is a polite way of saying we would be prone to constant, catastrophic "Black Swan" collapses. They are the ones holding the line against system failure. Keep an eye out for the premiere in early 2026. This series is going to change how we look at the people protecting our digital infrastructure.

Most Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs stall because they're looking at risk with one eye closed. We're all focused on known vulnerabilities, but the data is startling: 61% of security breaches are due to misconfigured controls. Your security tools aren't just mitigators: they're the number one source of exposure when they have gaps, policies are unenforced, or they’re incorrectly configured. We call this the "Control Gap". If you're patching vulnerabilities that are already sufficiently covered by your security stack, you're wasting time. If you ignore control gaps, you're leaving the door wide open. Ready to see how a "Control-First" approach changes everything about prioritization and even mobilization? Check out Sofia Piedrahita's latest blog to learn why viewing risk through the lens of controls is the only way to accelerate your CTEM program. Link in comments.

99% of breaches aren't from one big flaw, they're from small issues that combine to create a perfect storm. It’s the reality of modern cybersecurity: Your security team doesn't lack tools; they lack integration. When your different security systems (Vulnerability, Cloud, Endpoint) don't share context, they create "Toxic Combinations": A small misconfiguration in Tool A + A missing control in Tool B = A clear, wide-open attack path. Defenders see fragments. Attackers see one continuous surface. In our latest blog, Product Manager Eitan Yellin explains exactly how to connect those views and reveal these Toxic Combinations before they lead to compromise.

Shai Mendel's latest byline for The AI Journal explores a reality many security teams would rather not admit: most breaches trace back to fundamentals, not sophisticated zero-days. Even global enterprises are still tripped up by weak controls while simultaneously racing to adopt AI. A few takeaways that stood out: • AI is already reshaping both offense and defense, accelerating everything: including mistakes. • Context is the critical ingredient: without it, AI simply moves faster in the wrong direction. • CTEM gives organizations the structure to focus; agentic AI gives them the muscle to act. • Strong posture still starts with validating the basics before adding automation to the mix. What resonated most is the reminder that AI isn’t a shortcut to maturity. It amplifies what exists. With the right foundations, it becomes a catalyst. Without them, it just widens the gaps. 📖 Full article linked in the comments.
