AI has collapsed the cyber response window — resilience now starts before the attack

Presented by Rubrik

Enterprise cybersecurity is facing a fundamental speed problem. Frontier AI models are now enabling autonomous attacks that can move from initial access to full system breakout in as little as 27 seconds. That’s faster than any human-operated security workflow can detect, escalate, and respond.

As a result, security operations can no longer assume there is time for humans to respond between breach and damage.

The security posture that enterprises need for the AI era centers on cyber resilience: continuously identifying clean recovery states, mapping critical data and identity dependencies, and automating restoration so that operations can recover in hours not days.

"Everything that relied on process or human-in-the-loop intervention is no longer going to be able to execute at the speed of the attacks," says Dev Rishi, GM of AI at Rubrik. "If the attacks are happening in 27 seconds, it means I need my recovery...
