Christian Lewis reposted thisHuge and important launch from Vega for Detection Skills, the open standard for everything after a detection fires. Agentic triage and investigation is written into the detection itself, where it can be written down, versioned, and shared like code. Check it out at https://lnkd.in/gJGa5UJd, and congrats Shay Sandler, Eli Rozen, Yonni Shelmerdine, and team!Christian Lewis reposted thisToday at Black Hat, we’re launching Detection Skills: the industry’s first open standard for AI reasoning in cyber defense. AI in the SOC has been a black box for too long. We believe the reasoning behind every alert triage and investigation decision should be authored by your engineers, transparent at every step, and shared across the community rather than locked inside a vendor. That’s what Detection Skills delivers. Write the judgment once, scale it for every alert. It’s open and community-driven from day one. Explore it at detectionskills.io, or find us at Booth #3452.

Christian Lewis shared thisStrong points, Moudy. The core takeaway here is that treating autonomous AI agents like standard service accounts or containerized workloads represents a fundamental architecture and security gap. When an agent discovers a zero-day in a package registry proxy, escalates privileges, and harvests credentials, it proves that agentic systems can execute high-velocity lateral movement indistinguishable from an advanced threat actor. Security controls must adapt immediately: Identity Governance: Treat agentic runtimes as untrusted, high-risk Non-Human Identities (NHIs). Credential Lifecycle: Mandate short-lived, ephemeral, highly scoped credentials. Egress & Behavior: Enforce strict egress allowlisting and real-time trajectory monitoring.Christian Lewis shared thisThe scariest breach of the year wasn't run by a nation-state or a criminal crew. It was an AI model, taking a test. It escaped its sandbox, found a zero-day, and broke into another company to steal the answer key. The defenders won. Barely. And only because they'd already put AI on their own side. Here's what every security leader should take from the Hugging Face incident 👇

Christian Lewis reposted thisChristian Lewis reposted thisI am incredibly proud to share that EVOTEK has been recognized as one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Southern California. This recognition means so much because it reflects what we have always believed: a company is only as strong as its people, its culture, and the purpose that brings everyone together. From day one, EVOTEK has been built on the idea that if we take care of our people, our people will take care of our customers, partners, and communities. This honor is a reflection of every EVOTEK employee who shows up each day with passion, care, resilience, and a commitment to something bigger than themselves. To our entire team a huge Thank You. Thank You for believing in the vision, for building a culture rooted in trust and service, and for continuing to make EVOTEK a place where people can grow, contribute, and belong. We have always said that culture is not something you put on a wall. It is something you live every day. Congratulations to the entire EVOTEK family. This recognition belongs to all of you 🙏 ❤️ #EVOTEK #BestPlacesToWork #Culture #Leadership #PeopleFirst #SouthernCalifornia

Christian Lewis reposted thisLove being apart of this organization. Evotek and Upwind, what an amazing partnership.Christian Lewis reposted thisLast night was one of those moments that reminds me why I love this city❤️ A walk-off win by Manny Machado. A packed house at Petco Park. Pure excitement from thousands of San Diego Padres fans. Then this morning the San Diego Padres sent over this photo, and right there behind one of the biggest moments of the game was our EVOTEK and Upwind Security sign. As a lifelong believer in San Diego, it’s pretty special to see the company we built represented during a moment like this. Not because of the sign itself, but because it represents the incredible employees, customers, partners, and community that have been part of the EVOTEK journey. Congratulations to the San Diego Padres on an unforgettable win, and thank you to our friends at Upwind Security for being great partners. San Diego continues to be the greatest sports and technology community in the country. #Padres #BringTheGold #EVOTEK #Upwind #SanDiego #Technology #Community Will Grant Jeff Farmer Sergio del Prado Eddie Quinn Amiram Shachar Max Stevens Jake Martens

Christian Lewis reposted thisWonderful night with incredible people. Looking forward to all the continued discussions.Christian Lewis reposted thisAI is no longer a conversation for the future. It’s a leadership conversation. Last night, EVOTEK had the opportunity to bring together an incredible group of technology leaders for an intimate dinner discussion on one of the biggest shifts happening across the enterprise: the AI inflection point. The conversation wasn’t about hype. It was about reality. How are organizations moving from experimentation to execution? How do leaders balance innovation with governance, risk, security, and operational readiness? And perhaps most importantly, how do we ensure AI becomes a business accelerator, not just another technology initiative? What stood out most was the openness of the discussion. Honest perspectives, practical challenges, shared experiences, and a willingness to think boldly about what comes next. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a thoughtful conversation. Grateful to collaborate with leaders who are not only embracing change, but helping shape what the future of the enterprise will look like. Excited for what’s ahead. #ArtificialIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Leadership #FinancialServices #TechnologyLeadership #EVOTEK Matthew DeLuca Moudy Elbayadi, Ph.D. David Fetters Rachel Tucker Christian Lewis David Whyatt Brent Baccellia
