AI CYBER DEFENCE
AI is making threats cheaper and faster to execute, and the traditional resourcing model of adding analysts to match alert volume is running out of road. Vendors are releasing products with AI ad ons and exuberant promises, but no one is talking about the long term plan.
"The security leaders I'm talking to are already using AI day-to-day. They understand what's possible. What's frustrating them is that nobody is explaining how to bring AI into their Security Operations Centre in a practical, structured way. They want a strategy, not a sales pitch. These sessions exist to give them that."
get started
In this confidential session you will discuss your current challenges, internal pressures and threat concerns. Helping you understand the strategical implications of adding AI into your defence strategy and if it’s the correct move for your organisation.
Rob has spent 25 years building SOCs for UK government and CNI. Over the past two years, that work has focused on training local AI models per customer environment that deliver sub-one-second detection and response in under three minutes.
A fully confidential conversation tailored to your situation and environment and challenges.
There is no death by PowerPoint, or hidden sales pitch. This is a session designed to genuinely help security leaders overwhelmed by the changes that AI is rapidly creating within cyber defence.
Security leaders are either overwhelmed by incoming Mythos threats or don't have the headspace to think about it. This is an opportunity to explore those concerns with an expert neutral third party with no agenda.
AI SOC Platform
The Cumulo update was built as an AI-native SOC from the ground up. Twenty-two specialist agents run in parallel on every live analysis, correlating signals and surfacing what matters. SC-cleared UK analysts make the decisions and act on them. It is a model designed for the speed and volume of modern threats, without adding headcount. Book your demo to see how Cumulo can support your SecOps.
SEC OPS EXPERT
Rob Demain is one of leading voices in Sec Ops and the integration of AI in cyber defence.
CEO, e2e-assure
Rob Demain founded e2e-assure in 2013 with a clear conviction: UK organisations needed a managed security provider that operated entirely within UK sovereignty, with full transparency on cost and capability. More than a decade later, that founding principle still defines the business and the way it serves clients across the public and private sectors.
Rob has spent over 25 years building Security Operations Centres and developing cyber security technology for critical national infrastructure. His work spans government, defence, energy, water, and manufacturing sectors, where the cost of a security failure is measured in operational downtime, public safety, and national resilience. More recently that expertise has spanned into effectively and safely implementing AI into cyber defence practises to get ahead of threats like Mythos.
Rob will tailor the conversation to your specific environment, but typical topics include what AI SOC operating models look like in practice, how to migrate from a traditional SOC without losing control, where AI adds real value in security operations versus where it introduces risk, and what to prioritise first. You set the agenda.
No. This is a peer-to-peer strategy conversation. Rob will share practical insight from 25 years of building SOCs for UK government and critical national infrastructure. If a deeper look at our technology would be useful afterwards, that can be arranged separately.
Rob founded e2e-assure in 2013 and has spent over 25 years building Security Operations Centres and developing cyber security technology for government, defence, energy, water, and manufacturing organisations. He is a published author on SOC operations and OT security, and a trusted advisor to CISOs across UK government and CNI.
Sessions run for 30-45 minutes over Microsoft Teams. They are completely confidential, one-to-one with Rob, and tailored to your organisation. No preparation is needed on your side. Come with your questions and Rob will work through them with you.
Senior security leaders across UK government, defence, critical national infrastructure, and manufacturing who have an existing SOC or managed security function and want to understand how AI changes the way that SOC operates. If you have been asked to build an AI SOC strategy and want practical guidance from someone who has done it, this session is for you.
How It Works
1
Once you have filled out the form, a member of our team will be in touch to book in your session with Rob.
2
To improve your session efficiency, you’ll be asked to fill out a short questionnaire so Rob understands your main concerns and pain point about AI cyber defence.
3
You will have a 30-45 minutes Team call with Rob to discuss your pain points and discover a clear direction to kick-start your AI strategy jounrey.
4
Based on your session Rob will follow up with a baseline strategy, highlighting key priorities and where you’ll see the most benefit of implementing (or not implementing) AI into your roadmap.

The threat model behind most security programmes has held up well for a long time. The adversary buys or develops exploits at human pace, deploys them through infrastructure that gets reused enough to be tracked, and operates through tradecraft that has been catalogued, indexed in MITRE ATT&CK, and turned into vendor detection content…
Anthropic released Claude Mythos Preview on 7 April 2026 alongside Project Glasswing, its coordinated disclosure programme. For anyone responsible for defending critical infrastructure, the implications are worth understanding clearly.
Mythos demonstrated that a frontier AI model, given a structured analysis framework and a modest compute budget, could identify vulnerabilities…
