14 Aug BreachLock: CISO Conversations Revealed At Black Hat USA 2026
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 14, 2026
“One thing is really clear in all the CISO conversations I’ve had – is that everybody is worried about the number of CVEs (common vulnerabilities and exposures) that are being published,” Seemant Sehgal, founder and CEO at BreachLock told Cybercrime Magazine during Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas last week.
“However people are very much cautious in terms of how they’re going to patch all of that,” adds Sehgal. “It’s not really possible to patch at the scale at which we are discovering the vulnerabilities.”
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD) tracks hundreds-of-thousands of known vulnerabilities, each representing a potential attack path into enterprise environments, according to a BreachLock blog post.
Sehgal explained how to patch the ones that really matter, and he gave Cybercrime Magazine a high-level overview of BreachLock’s agentic AI-powered penetration testing platform, which is trained on 40,000+ real-world pentests.
