Cybersecurity has always been asymmetric: attackers only need to find one opening, while defenders have to protect everything that matters. Now, AI is changing the scale and speed of that equation. @chandna, Partner at @GreylockVC and Cylake board member, believes we're entering an era of machines fighting machines, where increasingly sophisticated attacks powered by “bad AI” will require equally capable “good AI” on defense. In Episode 6 of Inside Cybersecurity, Asheem joins @renebonvanie to discuss what AI means for the cybersecurity stack, why truly AI-native architectures need to be built differently, and what three decades in cybersecurity have taught him about the people and companies that successfully navigate major technology shifts. 🎧 Watch Episode 6 of Inside Cybersecurity: cylake.substack.com/p/good-a…

The hardest environments should help shape the security built for them. That’s the idea behind Cylake’s Design Partner Program. Security and technology leaders bring us their constraints, work directly with our team, and help shape the platform before commercial launch. In Episode 5 of Inside Cybersecurity, Head of Product Management Nick Campagna explains how the program works and why we’re building with these partners from the start.

A 99% attack detection rate used to be good enough. Not because the remaining 1% didn’t matter. Developing enough different attacks to consistently find a way through was expensive, largely limiting that capability to nation states and sophisticated criminal organizations. GenAI changes that equation. When developing and iterating on new attacks becomes dramatically cheaper, attackers can keep looking for the gap until they find it. @nirzuk and @renebonvanie explain why that changes a longstanding assumption in cybersecurity: that keeping adversaries out is enough.

We’re continuing to share perspectives from Cylake’s Board of Directors. We asked @ravi_lsvp what he sees changing in cybersecurity today. "Twenty years ago, security had become a collection of single-purpose appliances. Nir saw that complexity and helped consolidate an entire layer of the industry around a common platform. What's interesting is that, over time, the industry fragmented again. Large organizations can now have dozens of security vendors, each solving a different problem, collecting different data, and giving the security team another system to manage. I've spent my career watching these cycles play out in enterprise technology. Eventually there comes a point where adding one more product isn't really the answer. You have to look underneath all of it and ask whether the architecture still makes sense. I believe that question matters more now than ever, because we're moving into an increasingly AI-native world where the nature, timing and scale of cyber threats are changing radically. An architecture designed for the last era won't likely hold up in this one. That's what I find compelling about Cylake. Nir and the team aren't trying to build the thirty-first security product. They're going back to the underlying architecture, bringing the data and functions back together, and building it to be forward-looking for what's coming."

AI has made targeted attacks cheaper to build and easier to scale. Defenders need to move faster, and they need the complete picture to do it. Today, that picture is scattered across security products that were never built to work together. Our investors are backing Cylake’s answer: rebuild the architecture from the metal up. @nirzuk founded Palo Alto Networks. Wilson Xu helped build it and led its engineering team. Udi Shamir co-founded SentinelOne. Now they’re building one platform with one data lake, where security and AI run on infrastructure you control. @angusloten covers the surge in early-stage cyber funding, including Cylake’s recent raise, in @WSJ.

Data sovereignty comes down to one thing: control. Where is your data? Who has access to it? And how much control do you have over what happens to it? Cylake’s @MarkatPANW and @renebonvanie break down why these questions matter now more than ever. Dig into the new meaning of data sovereignty: substack.com/@cylake/note/p-…

We’re building Cylake with the people who will use it. In Episode 5 of Inside Cybersecurity, Nick Campagna and @renebonvanie go inside Cylake’s Design Partner program and what we’re learning about AI, legacy security stacks, sovereignty, hardware, and more. 🎧 Watch: cylake.substack.com/p/inside…

You cannot build complete visibility from 30 tools. What you get instead is 30 puddles of data and 30 bills. We are building Cylake around a different premise: one system, one ingestion pipeline, working across complete data on infrastructure the customer controls. @renebonvanie spoke with @ISMG_News about why that architecture led us all the way down to the hardware, and why it matters for organizations that cannot send their most sensitive security data somewhere else.

“It should be your data. In the cloud, it’s not.” - @NirZuk, Cylake Founder & CEO Data ownership is one of a company’s most valuable assets. If working with your own data requires permission and a massive bill, how much of it do you really own? Listen to the full conversation on our latest episode of Inside Cybersecurity: cylake.substack.com/p/who-re…

Sophisticated cyberattacks are becoming cheaper to launch and easier to scale. Organizations need security operations that can respond at machine speed. Hear Cylake CMO @renebonvanie and Cylake Board Member @MarkatPANW discuss this shift in the latest episode of Inside Cybersecurity: substack.com/@cylake/note/p-…

Your cybersecurity data should be your data. But who actually controls it? Cylake founder and CEO @nirzuk sits down with @JoelFishbeinJr, Senior Managing Director at Guggenheim Securities, to discuss cloud economics, fragmented security data, AI, and why data sovereignty is becoming an architectural requirement. 🎧 Inside Cybersecurity Episode 4: cylake.substack.com/p/who-re…

AI can only defend what it can see. Before asking what AI can do for your organization’s cybersecurity, you need to ask: Can our architecture support AI? If your security data is scattered across multiple ingestion pipelines and disconnected "data puddles," AI only sees pieces of the picture. A single ingestion pipeline and a unified data lake give AI the complete visibility it needs to operate effectively. More in our latest article: cylake.substack.com/p/ai-is-…

Cybersecurity has become a board-level issue. Former Palo Alto Networks CEO @MarkatPANW joins @renebonvanie to discuss AI, resilience, digital sovereignty, and why cybersecurity has become a strategic business issue. 🎧 Episode 3 of Inside Cybersecurity: open.substack.com/pub/cylake…

Every week brings another AI analyst, AI SOC, AI agent, or AI assistant. But AI can only work with what it can see. If cybersecurity systems are built on fragmented data and incomplete visibility, AI will inherit those same limitations. Read more in our latest Substack: cylake.substack.com/p/ai-is-…

Are cybersecurity vendors building products around security outcomes, or around cloud pricing models? In the inaugural episode of Inside Cybersecurity with Cylake, CEO @nirzuk explains to @renebonvanie why cloud economics have a greater influence on cybersecurity architecture than many organizations realize. Hear more from Nir and René: cylake.substack.com/p/why-we…

Cybersecurity wasn't built for the AI era. The industry is racing to deploy AI agents, copilots, and automation. But AI can only work with the data it can see. In Episode 2 of Inside Cybersecurity, @nirzuk and @renebonvanie discuss why AI is exposing long-standing assumptions about cybersecurity architecture, the economics behind AI-powered detection, and why visibility, context, and data remain the foundation of effective security. 🎧 Episode 2 is live now: open.substack.com/pub/cylake…

How do you protect what you can't fully see? Cybersecurity teams are operating across fragmented datasets, disconnected systems, and incomplete context. In the first episode of Inside Cybersecurity with Cylake, CEO @nirzuk explains why he believes this architectural problem is limiting security outcomes and why the industry needs a new approach. Listen to the conversation with Nir and @renebonvanie: cylake.substack.com/p/why-we…

How do you find threats when every security tool only sees part of the picture? Every tool has a piece of the puzzle, but none can see the whole thing. Cylake is bringing security data together in a unified security data platform because better visibility leads to better decisions. See why cybersecurity needs a different architecture: cylake.com
