Cyber and AI intelligence,
Engineered for Action.
Research, threat analysis, field evidence, and defensive architecture for leaders, builders, and mission owners.
Every finding connects emerging risk to a control, architecture, or decision.

2026 Cyber and AI Threat Landscape
A consolidated assessment of the threat, governance, and defensive shifts shaping the year. Each Reality Report below contributes domain evidence.
The questions CSI tracks continuously.
Grouped by the system, threat surface, or decision under examination.
AI Systems and Authority
Identity, delegation, runtime control, and agent behavior.
Enterprise Attack Surface
Connected trust paths across software, cloud, identity, and APIs.
Mission and Physical Systems
Operational consequences where digital actions affect mission outcomes.
Assurance and Qualification
Evidence, evaluation, acquisition, and cryptographic resilience.
Turn findings into a defensible next move.
Focused routes for leaders, architects, and government acquisition teams.

Use exact terms and technical tags when the six primary streams are not specific enough.
How CSI establishes confidence.
Evidence level, control mapping, versioning, and corrections are treated as part of the publication.
Evidence before assertion
Findings distinguish observation, analysis, controlled testing, and field validation.
Controls before commentary
Threat analysis is mapped to architectural or governance implications where applicable.
Versioned research
Framework and technical findings identify the relevant version and publication date.
Corrections and supersession
Older guidance remains available and is marked when later research replaces it.
