What a Security Strategy That Survives 2027 Looks Like
CSO Online, Monday, November 2nd, 2026
CISOs including Equifax's Jeremy Koppen describe how they are reshaping security strategy for AI, agents, geopolitics and quantum in 2027.
This CSO Online feature by Mary K. Pratt gathers security leaders' plans for evolving their programs ahead of 2027.
Equifax CISO Jeremy Koppen says AI is speeding up both attackers and defenders, and Equifax will embed automated security checks earlier in development and expand AI use in security operations.
He says identity controls are central as AI agents, bots and automated workflows generate more network activity, and Equifax applies the same verification to these identities as to people.
The article notes that geopolitics, the expected arrival of quantum computing and more interconnected systems are also changing the attack surface, pushing CISOs toward significant transformation.
