AI SPERA, through its platform Criminal IP, showcased its latest innovation, AITEM, at Infosecurity Europe 2026, held at ExCeL London. This marks the company’s second participation in the event, underscoring its commitment to advancing cybersecurity solutions globally. Criminal IP’s focus remains on providing actionable intelligence and enhancing attack surface visibility for security teams worldwide.
Advancing Threat Management with AITEM
Criminal IP’s introduction of AITEM, an AI-driven Threat Exposure Management framework, signals a new direction in cybersecurity. Traditional Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools have been instrumental in identifying internet-exposed assets, but AI SPERA emphasizes the need for a shift from mere visibility to actionable responses. According to Byungtak Kang, CEO of AI SPERA, utilizing AI to prioritize and act on risks is crucial in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.
As threats evolve, the challenge lies in bridging the gap between detection and actionable response. AI SPERA believes that AI can significantly reduce the operational burden on security teams by taking over routine tasks, allowing human analysts to focus on decision-making and risk prioritization. This philosophy is central to the development of AITEM.
Key Features of the AITEM Framework
AITEM represents a comprehensive approach to Threat Exposure Management, incorporating several AI-driven capabilities. These include natural language-driven security operations, automated identification of asset ownership, and continuous monitoring of new vulnerabilities. By leveraging AI, organizations can streamline these processes, reducing the time and effort required for security operations.
Another critical aspect of AITEM is shadow AI detection, which addresses the increasing use of unsanctioned AI services by employees. Additionally, the framework offers guided remediation strategies when immediate solutions are not feasible, highlighting its comprehensive approach to managing cybersecurity risks.
Industry Trends and the Future of Cybersecurity
The introduction of AITEM aligns with broader industry trends towards integrated, AI-driven security operations. At major cybersecurity events like RSAC 2026, the focus on agentic AI, AI SOC, and shadow AI detection reflects a shift from isolated tools to cohesive security strategies. This transition emphasizes the need for faster response times and more effective risk management.
Byungtak Kang noted that the competition in ASM is evolving from asset discovery to operational efficiency. AI is envisioned as the tool for handling repetitive analysis, while human expertise is directed towards strategic judgment and prioritization. This paradigm shift underscores the potential of AI to transform cybersecurity practices.
Criminal IP, operated by AI SPERA, continues to provide cutting-edge cyber threat intelligence solutions, aiming to enhance organizational visibility and response capabilities. By continuously monitoring global internet activity, it delivers crucial insights into malicious activities and vulnerabilities, empowering organizations to stay ahead of potential threats.
