CardinalOps launched Cardinal AI, a new suite of artificial intelligence capabilities designed to accelerate effective exposure management with agentic, risk-reducing workflows.
"With the launch of Cardinal AI and Wingman, we're delivering the next evolution of exposure management: from reactive patching to proactive, AI-assisted remediation," says Michael Mumcuoglu, co-founder and CEO of CardinalOps. "By pairing human expertise with AI-driven context and action, we're empowering security teams to move faster and more confidently to eliminate the exposures that matter most—without the false positives, redundancy, or wasted effort."
Key takeaways:
· Cardinal AI encompasses the core AI-powered functionality across the CardinalOps platform, including LLMs for MITRE mapping and detection engineering; threat intelligence operations (TI-Ops) for connecting TTPs to detections and recommending new rules; and agentic mitigation workflows that continuously review your security stack and identify compensating controls to remediate newly disclosed CVEs.
· This foundational intelligence is now accessible via Wingman, CardinalOps' new generative AI interface. Wingman empowers defenders to engage with Cardinal AI in natural language, explore and compare mitigation options, create targeted remediation plans, and validate control effectiveness, all within the context of their unique environment.
· With Wingman, practitioners gain a trusted AI co-pilot that recommends compensating controls based on risk context and asset posture; validates alternative mitigations proposed by the user; compares implementation complexity, time-to-remediation, and coverage effectiveness; creates targeted remediation plans, engaging the user when human intuition and context are necessary, crafting tailored mitigation paths that combine multiple controls; and maintains a human-in-the-loop decision model for final implementation.
