AI is reshaping how organizations identify vulnerabilities, manage risk, secure critical systems, and prepare for emerging threats. The Summer 2026 issue of Cybersecurity Quarterly explores what security leaders, practitioners, and public sector stakeholders need to know now to secure AI and adapt to a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

In this issue, CIS experts, partners, and community leaders share practical guidance and real-world insights on securing emerging technologies, managing cyber risk, and strengthening organizational resilience. Topics include:

How the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center® (MS-ISAC®) continues to strengthen the cybersecurity ecosystem for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments through collaboration, governance, and collective defense.
Why drones and AI-generated synthetic media are creating new risks for large-scale public events and what security and public safety leaders can do to prepare.
How frontier AI models are accelerating vulnerability discovery and the actions defenders should take today to reduce exposure before attackers gain the advantage.
Practical guidance for extending the CIS Critical Security Controls® (CIS Controls®) to secure AI systems, agents, and integrations while managing emerging risks such as prompt injection, data poisoning, and unintended autonomous behavior.
A step-by-step approach to building a cybersecurity risk tolerance policy that helps organizations align security decisions with business priorities and operational realities.
