Panaseer launches AI tool for real-time analysis of cyber risks
Key Drivers enables organisations to swiftly identify and explain shifts in their risk profile by examining millions of security control records within seconds. This new product aims to support CISOs and security teams in prioritising their responses and reducing the time spent on manual investigation and reporting.
Purpose and Functionality
Key Drivers analyses high volumes of cybersecurity data and uncovers patterns that may not be apparent through manual inspection. For instance, the product can highlight specific scenarios such as concentrated phishing test failures within a given business unit, or persistent patch breaches across critical Windows 8 devices. These insights give teams the information needed to understand root causes, accelerate remediation, and adapt their security efforts accordingly.
The system is integrated with Panaseer's existing actionable dashboards, which are tailored for different industries and regulatory frameworks. This approach allows for not only detecting anomalies, but also providing clear explanations that facilitate business communication and informed decision making. "With breaches continuing to rise, security professionals are under incredible pressure to act fast, but it's often hard to pinpoint what's really driving changes to their risk posture," says Marc Moesse, Chief Product Officer at Panaseer. "When you're dealing with this level of complexity, it's easy to fall back on assumptions or gut instinct, rather than evidence – increasing the likelihood of bias and blind spots. Key Drivers doesn't just flag anomalies, it explains them. Our plan is to build responsible AI features to act as force multipliers, allowing security teams to make smarter, faster, data-driven decisions, and focus their efforts where it really matters."
Key Drivers brings several features to streamline risk management, including automated analysis triggered by predefined metric thresholds, report-ready concise summaries, business context filtering by dimensions such as device type, unit, country, or criticality, and asset-level drill-downs to pinpoint affected systems, assets, or users.
Risk Management and Reporting
The product is designed to detect 'residual risk drift', referring to subtle changes in controls or vulnerabilities that might slowly increase overall risk even after mitigations have been applied. By alerting teams to these changes in near real-time, Key Drivers is intended to make it easier to localise issues and respond effectively before they escalate.
The tool can be used by both security analysts and CISOs. For CISOs, it reduces the burden of translating technical findings for business reports or board meetings, while providing up-to-date evidence of security posture improvements. For analysts, Key Drivers operates as a personal assistant, automating the complex process of investigating security issues, speeding up triage, and allowing more time to focus on high-value activities.
Industry Perspective "Residual risk isn't some abstract concept – it's the security gaps hiding in plain sight," adds Jonathan Gill, CEO of Panaseer. "Every time we run an assessment, we uncover the same surprises: incomplete CMDBs, thousands of unprotected endpoints, misconfigured cloud environments with no ownership, and even 'retired' servers that still live on the network. And these gaps never stay the same; what looks safe on Monday can be wide-open by Friday. That's why visibility is everything." "With Key Drivers, we give security leaders a living, breathing view of their environment – a system of record that allows security teams to spot residual risk the moment it drifts, understand the control failures behind it, and close the gaps before they become tomorrow's headlines."
Key Drivers is the first in a range of products to be released within the Panaseer AI Suite, with further developments planned to enhance AI governance, accelerate cyber risk management and compliance, and reinforce cyber resilience across client organisations.
The product is now available to all Panaseer customers.

Panaseer launches tool to automate enterprise compliance tasks
Panaseer has announced the launch of its Cyber Frameworks Catalog, designed to automate compliance management for enterprises operating within regulated industries. The Cyber Frameworks Catalog aims to assist enterprises in mapping, monitoring, and reporting the performance of security controls against significant cybersecurity frameworks and regulations. According to Panaseer, the tool provides pre-built dashboards and automated controls that facilitate the continuous measurement of compliance with standards such as DORA, NIST CSF v2.0, CIS Controls v8, PCI DSS v4.0, and CRI Profile v2. Research conducted by Panaseer indicates that cybersecurity teams currently spend close to 60% of their time on manual reporting. This situation can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and an elevated risk of audit failures even when organisations believe that they are operating within compliance requirements. To address these challenges, teams often implement tactical responses such as isolating systems or creating dedicated environments - a strategy that frequently results in fragmented and unsustainable security operations. The Cyber Frameworks Catalog claims to streamline these processes by introducing a controls measurement-driven, automation-first methodology. Features such as pre-built dashboards, automated mapping of controls to frameworks, and continuous compliance scoring present security and operational teams with an opportunity to simplify their reporting obligations and regularly demonstrate compliance. Among the Catalog's features are more than ten out-of-the-box dashboards, each mapped to over 200 control metrics connected to various regulatory frameworks. The automated cross-mapping functionality highlights where a single security control satisfies the requirements of multiple frameworks, a feature intended to benefit sectors such as finance and retail where regulatory overlap is common. Users are able to identify failing metrics through interactive dashboards, real-time alerts, and configurable thresholds. The Catalog's analytical capabilities allow teams to investigate the underlying causes of compliance failures, prioritise remediation actions, and potentially prevent regulatory breaches. Historical tracking is integrated into the Catalog, enabling teams to observe compliance trends over time, benchmark the effectiveness of their programmes, and generate defensible evidence for audits and governance reporting. The reporting capacities of the tool allow organisations to develop tailored, multi-framework scorecards reflecting both their compliance and risk management postures, accommodating the diverse needs of stakeholders across business units and regulatory regimes. Marc Moesse, Chief Product Officer at Panaseer, commented on the purpose behind the Cyber Frameworks Catalog: "Security teams shouldn't have to choose between being compliant and being secure—they need to be both. The Cyber Frameworks Catalog builds on years of working with regulated industries to address real compliance pain points. By productizing control-to-framework mapping into our data-driven platform, we're giving security leaders the automation and clarity they need. With faster prep and reliable data, they can reduce findings and confidently answer to the board, regulators, and auditors, or give them direct access." Panaseer states that, as regulatory pressures and risks relating to compliance failures continue to mount, the Cyber Frameworks Catalog provides organisations with a systematic approach to managing regulatory requirements while maintaining operational resilience. The Catalog's integration with Panaseer's Continuous Controls Monitoring platform allows it to aggregate and validate security data from a range of enterprise technology stacks, including platforms managing assets, identities, accounts, and applications. This encompasses more than ten primary cybersecurity domains, offering a centralised view for security teams that includes drill-down capabilities into the specific metrics underlying controls. The company highlights the value of this approach in enabling organisations to generate validated data suited for scrutiny by auditors, regulators, and internal stakeholders. Panaseer describes its role as supporting organisations to continuously measure the deployment and effectiveness of their security controls, with its CCM platform providing Chief Information Security Officers with insights into their cyber defence performance relative to global frameworks and regulations. The firm asserts that these data-driven processes promote efficient resource allocation and improved prioritisation of security actions.
