The Direnzic Briefing: AI Adoption in the Glasswing Era.
Our National Internet Safety Month briefing brought federal cyber experience and the Project Glasswing findings into one room. Founder Ieshea Hollins and retired FBI Special Agent Miguel Clarke examined how organizations are racing to adopt AI, often without adequate governance, and what leaders must build before the exposure becomes public. The full replay is below.
Playback begins at the official presentation, The Art of AI Adoption in the Glasswing Era. The first half hour is a conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Miguel Clarke on how federal cyber threats evolved into today's exploitation-as-a-service landscape; use the chapter buttons above or watch the full briefing on YouTube. A full transcript with key moments is also available.
What the Briefing established.
Organizations are adopting AI faster than they are governing it, and the exposure that creates is quiet until it is not. Miguel Clarke traced the evolution from early intrusions to exploitation as a service, and made the case that security leaders earn the room by speaking in risk and investment efficiency, not technical jargon. Ieshea Hollins then introduced the development that reset the clock: Anthropic's Mythos, an AI model capable of autonomous end-to-end cyber attack engineering, and Project Glasswing, the industry response that is finding and patching vulnerabilities at the scale of the internet. The critical observation for this audience: the tech industry secured itself early, while water, power, and the rest of critical infrastructure began as the blind spot. For the full background on Anthropic's Mythos models and the Glasswing initiative, see The Glasswing Files.
The Federal Context
Clarke on the evolution of cyber threats into exploitation as a service, and why security professionals must bridge the communication gap with leadership in the language of risk and investment efficiency.
The Warning of Autonomous Risk
Anthropic's Mythos marks the turning point: AI-driven threats now move significantly faster than traditional human-led defensive response.
Project Glasswing
A coalition spanning the major AI and cloud providers, using advanced AI to identify and patch vulnerabilities at internet scale. Tech secured itself early; critical infrastructure started as the blind spot.
The Governance Bottleneck
The constraint is no longer detection. It is the maturity and capacity of an organization to respond to findings. The question every leader must be able to answer: who owns governance maturity when AI adoption outpaces oversight?
Move beyond checklists.
Shift from compliance to a structured readiness assessment across nine domains, including AI tool usage, data exposure, and vendor risk.
Know your systems.
Log4j proved you cannot secure what you do not know you are running. Inventory and visibility come before everything else.
Establish ownership.
Define who validates risk, who coordinates response, and who communicates security decisions to stakeholders, before a breach decides for you.
The Briefing created awareness. These two steps create readiness.
Everything in the replay points to the same starting question: where does your organization actually stand? That answer takes ten minutes.
Take the ACRA
The AI Cyber Readiness Assessment measures your posture across the nine readiness domains discussed in the Briefing. You receive your ACRA Executive Snapshot on the spot: a defensible view of where you stand and your top gaps.
Take the ACRA (to receive your Executive Snapshot)Bring Your Snapshot to the Executive Readiness Room
A four-hour, live working session where leaders turn their Snapshot findings into four working AI governance artifacts: charter, exposure register, board-ready posture one-pager, and incident-response gap list. Application-based, capped at 40 seats.
