Hi friend,

AI is changing the cybersecurity conversation in ways that go beyond new threats and vulnerabilities.

As AI takes on more work inside your organization, it can move from helping people make decisions to taking actions on their behalf. Gartner has already predicted that forty percent of enterprise applications will be integrated with task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than five percent in 2025.

This is a different kind of shift: it means software can be deployed before an organization has fully defined what that software should be allowed to do or not do. An AI system can work exactly as designed, complete a task successfully, and still make a decision that falls outside of your organization's policies.* And your organization owns that risk.

Governance helps keep that in check: who decides what an AI tool can access? What is it allowed to do on its own? When should a person step in? And how will you know when an automated decision has crossed the line?

For IT leaders, the work now is finding the right balance, giving your business the room to move quickly and capture AI's value while making sure security, governance, ownership, and accountability are part of that progress.

This month, we're looking at what these changes mean for your security strategy and sharing practical resources to help you understand where your organization stands today and where to focus next.

One place to start is understanding this and the other emerging IT challenges businesses face. Explore our blog, Emerging IT Challenges + How IT Management Helps Businesses, to learn how effective IT management can help you navigate what’s ahead.

Case Study: Restoring Operations After a Health Care Cyberattack

When a large orthopedic health care provider was hit with a malware attack, getting critical systems back online quickly was essential to maintaining patient care and daily operations.

Compugen Systems responded quickly, establishing a secure Microsoft 365 environment and reimaging the organization’s computers with Windows 10 and Office 365. Within one week, the team helped restore access to the technology needed to schedule appointments and surgeries, communicate with patients and providers, manage billing, and keep the business running.

The partnership has continued with additional projects, including SharePoint Online migration, accelerated Microsoft Teams adoption, and upgraded Microsoft licensing. Read the full case study to see how Compugen helped the organization recover from a cyberattack and strengthen its technology environment for the future.
