Beyond the AI Hype: A Data-Driven Look at What Actually Protects Your Organization

The AI security conversation is loud. It is also, in large part, disconnected from what the data actually shows. 

Breach reports do not describe a threat landscape that has been fundamentally reinvented. They describe the same attack categories, exploiting the same gaps, through the same entry points, moving faster and at greater scale than before. AI has not changed what attackers do. It has changed how quickly they can do it. 

That distinction matters enormously for defenders, because it changes the question. It's no longer "What new framework do we need?" It shifts to "How do we implement the right fundamentals faster, more consistently, and in a way we can actually measure and defend?" 

In this webinar, CIS SVP and Chief Evangelist Tony Sager and Chief Technology and Innovation Officer Brian Calkin cut through the noise with evidence. They will walk through what data reveals about defending in an AI-accelerated environment, how those same principles extend to AI deployments through the new CIS MCP Benchmark, and how CIS SecureSuite gives organizations the tooling to move from prioritized guidance to measurable, repeatable action. 

By Attending This Webinar, You'll Learn:
 
  • What real-world breach data reveal about AI-accelerated threats and why strong fundamentals remain the most effective defense

  • How the new CIS Controls Active Defense Lifecycle helps defenders prioritize CIS Safeguards by attack stage, not just attack type

  • Why CIS Safeguard 4.1 is the single highest-value security investment across all five top attack categories, confirmed by the CIS CDM v3.0 and the 2026 Verizon DBIR

  • How the CIS MCP Benchmark extends proven controls to the AI protocol layer, where AI intent becomes action and authorization risks are highest

  • What consistent, measurable implementation looks like in practice with a live CIS SecureSuite demo
