Bellini Capital CISO on AI Security Governance and the Limits of Patching Faster
Help Net Security, Wednesday, October 28th, 2026
Bellini Capital CISO Brian Blakley says AI speeds attackers' exploitation faster than defenders can patch, requiring more than patching.
In a Help Net Security interview, Brian Blakley, CISO at Bellini Capital and ConnectSecure, says AI accelerates vulnerability discovery while remediation still takes time, giving attackers an advantage.
He calls faster patching necessary but insufficient and recommends segmentation, compensating controls and faster business risk decisions.
He proposes a shared CIO and CISO metric for delivering critical initiatives within agreed limits, describes regression testing against silent model updates, and splits accountability for agent errors into financial, operational and executive roles.
