Cloud security is shifting under our feet. CNAPP gave us a unified view of cloud risk, but it was built for a world where humans closed the loop. AI has broken that assumption.

Cortex Cloud unifies code, cloud, and SOC on a single data, risk, and control plane — giving teams the context, workflows, and agentic intelligence to turn risk into resolution. Native AI agents investigate and act within enterprise guardrails, delivering real-time protection from workload to network edge. Cloud security that outpaces machine-speed threats.

In our latest video, CISO Series host David Spark highlights six of our favorite quotes from the article:
- Joshua Barons, head of information security at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, on why alert-driven platforms introduce operational risk at exactly the wrong moment.
- Vaughn Hazen, CISO at CN, on why security models aren’t keeping pace when identity is transient and sprawling with agents.
- Montez Fitzpatrick, CISO at Navvis, on why AI demands an entirely new identity primitive.
- David Cross, CISO at Atlassian, on understanding the intent, relationships, and context behind every action.
- Jack Kufahl, CISO at Michigan Medicine, on why visibility, not crude unilateral enforcement, is the way forward.
- Dan Holden, CISO at Commerce, on the coming shift from detection to decision automation with guardrails.
The thread running through all of it: static rules, manual triage, and human-speed response can’t defend environments where both attackers and development now operate at machine speed.
