Vulnerabilities are now discovered in hours, not weeks; phishing and social engineering are generated at scale and at native fluency; and multi-stage intrusions can be orchestrated with minimal human oversight. Traditional security stacks designed for human-paced attackers were not built for this reality, creating a major blind spot for enterprises.Article contentTop StoriesGet the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.

Article content“The window between disclosure and exploitation has collapsed,” said Chris Konrad, Vice President, Global Cyber at WWT. “By combining continuous autonomous testing, risk prioritization, upstream threat prevention, and AI-accelerated remediation, ‘Defending at the Speed of AI’ enables organizations to detect, prioritize and respond to threats at the pace of an AI-enabled adversary.”Article contentEach partner brings a distinct capability to the joint stack:Article contentHorizon3.

ai — Prove:Article contentProduction-safe, continuous and autonomous testing of defenses at the speed of AI finds and prioritizes what attackers can exploit, replacing assumption-based security with evidence.Article content“Attackers are no longer human-paced. Neither are we.

Horizon3’s NodeZero platform is critical security infrastructure for the AI era that runs continuous testing against our customers’ environments to prove exploitability the moment it appears, closing the gap that AI-powered adversaries are racing to widen. Joining WWT’s ‘Defending at the Speed of AI’ initiative puts that capability in front of the enterprises that need it most,” said Snehal Antani, CEO at Horizon3.ai.

In an AI-accelerated threat environment, fixing the wrong thing is the same as fixing nothing.

We are proud to work alongside WWT to give defenders the clarity to act on what truly puts the business at risk,” said Ed Bellis, CEO at Empirical Security.Article contentInfoblox — Prevent:Article contentProtective Domain Name System (DNS) stops threats upstream of the endpoint, including AI-generated malicious domains, phishing infrastructure, and command-and-control traffic.Article content“AI lets adversaries spin up malicious infrastructure faster than any human security operations center (SOC) can chase.

DNS is where we get ahead of it. Working with WWT and this group of partners, we are giving customers a preventive layer that scales with the threat — not behind it,” said Scott Harrell, CEO at Infoblox.Article contentArticle contentCognition — Propel:Article contentDevin, Cognition’s autonomous AI software engineer, generates patches, hardens code, and clears remediation backlogs at machine speed.

Article content“Finding and prioritizing vulnerabilities leaves the hardest part undone: someone has to write the fix. Devin does that work, generating patches and clearing remediation backlogs as fast as findings come in. We’re proud to bring that to WWT’s customers as part of this initiative,” said Gardner Johnson, VP of Global Partnerships at Cognition.
