"AI is everywhere these days. And cybersecurity is no exception. A closer look at the latest installment of the Fortune Cyber 60 list, which ranks the most promising cybersecurity startups, shows just how pervasive artificial intelligence has become in the field. Of the 14 new startups on the list in the "early-stage" category, just about all are focused squarely on AI."
"The pervasiveness of the problem and the breadth of potential risks are reflected in the assortment of AI-focused security tools provided by the companies on this year's Cyber 60. Products from companies like Cogent Security, 7AI, Prophet, and Dropzone AI, for instance, automate some of the routine defensive tactics that companies perform, using agents to send out alerts and escalate incident reports. That's a strong selling point at a time when many organizations are struggling to find qualified candidates to fill security roles."
Artificial intelligence has become central to modern cybersecurity. Nearly all cybersecurity companies and most early-stage startups focus on AI and AI-safety solutions. Corporations face pressure to adopt AI, while attackers use AI to create increasingly sophisticated threats and employees introduce privacy and security risks by using personal AI tools at work. A survey of 200 chief security officers at companies with over $500 million in revenue found that 75% reported or suspected an AI-related security incident in the past 12 months. Vendors offer AI-driven automation for routine defense tasks and specialized tools to secure AI systems and enable safer AI use.
