Last week, we attended Gartner’s Security & Risk Management Summit to get an Nicholas Hodge

updated view on how security leaders are responding to Mythos-class model security Associate Analyst

challenges, interest levels in automated security operations/remediation, and ultimately nicholas.hodge@ubs.com

whether AI risks are pulling forward cybersecurity conversations and spend. Our net +1-212-882 5954

takeaway: AI security tailwinds are real, but it’s still early. While the demand

environment sounds better, enterprises are acutely focused right now on assessing

internal and third-party exposure risk and thinking through strategic investments. While

CISOs appear to be having success getting additional budget dollars post-Mythos, we

got the sense strategies are being carefully considered, with very little standardization of

AI-security playbooks.

Budget Environment

Generally, it seems like Mythos is catalyzing board-level conversations and introspection

on security posture, but at this stage incremental budget dollars are still subject to

strategic debates and not funding immediate investment in incremental tools or rip-and-

replace projects. We heard very mixed opinions on vendor consolidation but note one

CISO that cited their acute focus on supply chain vulnerability risk as further support for

leveraging incumbent solutions. Lastly, automated security workflows (AI-SOC) were

cited as an easier incremental investment relative to automated remediation/patching,
