Nothing Was Broken. The Org Fell Anyway.
How Skyhawk’s Agentic AI Red Team took control of a production AWS organization in seconds, starting with a single low-privilege role, and without a single misconfiguration to exploit. The finding Skyhawk Security set out to test a simple question: what can an autonomous, AI-enabled attacker actually do inside a real cloud environment? So we pointed […]
Skyhawk’s AI Autonomous Attack Simulation Took Control of Company’s AWS Organization in Seconds
Skyhawk Security recently engaged with a company to evaluate their readiness to prevent AI Autonomous attacks on their AWS cloud. What we found surprised even us. The security team was confident they were doing everything right and what is so eye-opening is that to a large extent, they did. They followed best practices, their identities […]
Skyhawk Security’s AI Red Team Took Over Company’s Full AWS Organization in Seconds
Using its AI Autonomous Attack Simulation, the new research exposes critical cloud security blind spot where legitimate configurations can be chained into full organizational control TEL AVIV, Israel, June 29, 2026 — Skyhawk Security, a pioneer in AI-based red team cloud security, today announced new research showcasing how its Agentic AI Red Team took control […]
AI Exploits Faster than We Can Patch
The next phase of cybersecurity will not be defined by whether artificial intelligence can find vulnerabilities. That threshold has already been crossed. The defining question is whether defenders can move from knowing about exposures to neutralizing them before attackers can convert them into working paths of compromise. Frontier models can discover more weaknesses, reason across […]
AI Has Turned Cloud Risk Into a Race and Human Defenders are Losing
Cloud security used to be framed as a posture problem: find the critical vulnerabilities, fix the most severe misconfigurations, and reduce the visible attack surface. That model is no longer enough. The defining change is not that artificial intelligence has created a completely new class of attacks. The change is that AI helps attackers move faster, connect more weak posture […]
Weaponized Threats Require Preemptive Security
There is a word that appears throughout Gartner® latest research on AI-driven cybersecurity that every cloud security leader should take seriously: weaponized. Not “advanced.” Not “sophisticated.” Weaponized. Gartner® June 2026 report, Build Preemptive Security to Avert Weaponized AI Risks by Emerging Tech and Trends Security Research Team. We feel it opens with a statement that […]
The Threat has Changed. Most Defenses Have not.
How to Stop AI Autonomous Attacks in your Cloud. For years, cybersecurity attacks were completely created and executed by humans, and humans are slow. Humans make mistakes and they need time to find a foothold and move laterally through the cloud to find something valuable. This is no longer the case. Gartner® latest research: Cybersecurity […]
Skyhawk Security named as a Sample Vendor in Gartner®’s Hype Cycle™ for Enterprise Architecture, 2026
Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Enterprise Architecture, 2026 names Skyhawk Security as a Sample Vendor in the Intelligent Simulation category. In our opinion, this inclusion is a signal about where cloud security is heading. Intelligent simulation is not a security-specific category. It spans manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, supply chain, and operations. The fact that a cloud security company […]

The Annual Pen Test is Dying. Continuous Offensive Security is now required for the cloud.
For decades, annual penetration tests have been the cornerstone of enterprise security assurance. Schedule the engagement in Q3, receive the report in Q4, remediate over the winter, and repeat. This is probably very familiar. It is also dangerously out of step with the way modern cloud environments actually operate. Gartner® March 2026 research report, The […]
