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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
Skyhawk Security’s preemptive approach to cloud security began eight years ago with an AI-based detection and response system that tried to preemptively identify live incidents that had the opportunity to develop into a cloud breach. Since then, Skyhawk Security has
Episode 3: AI Red Team The AI Red Team is the capability that ties the proprietary AI platform and the Digital Twin together into a continuous, autonomous security function. It provides an Adversarial View of the vulnerabilities, cloud security controls,
This blog is a summary from our webinar: Mythos, The Glasswing Project, and the Technical Debt Crisis. You can watch the webinar here. The threat landscape is shifting at an unprecedented pace. According to the latest CrowdStrike Global Threat Report,
Episode 2: Skyhawk’s AI Technology As we mentioned in Episode 1, you hear this claim far too often: “We’re different. We have no competitors. No one does what we do.” That is why we created this differentiators blog series that
