Q&A With Pierre-Loic Kuhn at Filigran: Why Cybersecurity Needs to Evolve
IT Security Guru, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Filigran's Pierre-Loic Kuhn argues security testing must follow attack chains continuously rather than score isolated vulnerabilities.
IT Security Guru interviews Pierre-Loic Kuhn, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Filigran, about attack chaining and continuous validation.
He says attackers combine credentials, misconfigurations and low-severity weaknesses into paths to critical assets, so teams should prioritize by exploitability and fix chokepoints shared by several paths rather than rely on CVSS scores.
He cites Filigran research finding 97% of security professionals struggle to tell whether exposures are exploitable.
Kuhn says periodic pentests should be complemented by continuous automated testing with AI agents, as in Filigran's XTM Platform and OpenAEV, with humans setting the scope, permitted actions and oversight.
