Torrance, United States \/ California, June 11th, 2026, CyberNewswire<\/strong><\/p>\n Criminal IP<\/a> by AI SPERA, a cyber threat intelligence platform delivering decision-ready intelligence and attack surface visibility to security teams worldwide, participated in Infosecurity Europe 2026 at ExCeL London this week, marking the company\u2019s second consecutive appearance at Europe\u2019s leading cybersecurity event. <\/p>\n Alongside live demonstrations of Criminal IP\u2019s Attack Surface Management (ASM) capabilities, the company introduced AITEM (AI-based Threat Exposure Management)<\/strong>, a conceptual framework representing the next evolution of exposure management in an era increasingly shaped by AI.<\/p>\n Traditional ASM tools have served a critical purpose: helping organizations discover internet-facing assets like servers, domains, IP addresses, and admin panels, before attackers do. But discovery alone is no longer enough.<\/p>\n \u201cSeeing a threat and responding to it are completely different challenges,\u201d said Byungtak Kang, CEO of AI SPERA<\/strong>. \u201cBuilding a safer cyber world requires a shift from visibility to action. Organizations today have more visibility than ever, fewer can effectively prioritize and act on the risks it reveals. By applying AI to filter noise, enrich context, and guide investigations, security teams can focus on the exposures that matter most and respond in real time, turning insight into meaningful action.\u201d<\/p>\n The gap between detection and action has become even more critical as AI lowers the barrier for attackers. Automated scanning, published proof-of-concept exploit code, and AI-assisted vulnerability discovery mean that threat actors can identify and target exposed assets faster than ever.<\/p>\n In this environment, Criminal IP believes AI agents will increasingly assume repetitive operational tasks that consume security teams\u2019 time today \u2014 collecting context, correlating information, and assisting with routine investigative processes \u2014 allowing analysts to focus on decision-making, prioritization, and response. This shift in the division of labor between humans and AI forms one of the core ideas behind AITEM.<\/p>\n <\/strong>AITEM, as introduced by Criminal IP, envisions the integration of agentic AI into the full CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management) operational cycle, moving beyond asset inventory to encompass threat prioritization, owner attribution, vulnerability impact analysis, and guided remediation.<\/p>\n Key capabilities envisioned under the AITEM framework include:<\/p>\n AITEM is not yet a formally defined industry category. It is a framework Criminal IP is introducing to describe where ASM must go, and what Criminal IP ASM is being built toward.<\/p>\n At Infosecurity Europe 2026, CEO Byungtak Kang delivered a case study session titled \u201cFrom Visibility to Threat Hunting: A Case Study of AI-Driven Attack Surface Management\u201d as part of the official conference program which was his second consecutive time representing at the event. <\/p>\n Drawing from real-world examples, the session explored how threat intelligence and attack surface visibility can support faster investigation and more effective security operations. The introduction of AITEM expanded that conversation by asking what comes next.<\/p>\n The direction Criminal IP is pursuing with AITEM aligns with trends observed across the global security industry. Even at the RSAC 2026, agentic AI, AI SOC, and shadow AI detection emerged as defining themes, with major vendors including Cisco\/Splunk, Microsoft, and CrowdStrike all signaling a shift from siloed tools toward integrated, AI-driven security operations.<\/p>\n \u201cThe competition in ASM is no longer about who finds the most assets,\u201d said Kang. \u201cIt will be about who can operate faster, respond more effectively, and mobilize the organization. AI should handle the repetitive analytical work. Humans should focus on judgment, accountability, and prioritization.\u201d<\/p>\n Criminal IP is a cyber threat intelligence solution operated by AI SPERA that provides decision-ready threat intelligence, and attack surface management solutions to security teams worldwide. <\/p>\n By continuously scanning the global internet, Criminal IP aggregates and contextualizes threat signals across IPs, domains, URLs, and attack infrastructure, covering malicious indicators, known vulnerabilities, exposed assets, and attacker behavior. <\/p>\n Criminal IP\u2019s mission is to give organizations real visibility into their cyber landscape and accelerate threat detection and response by delivering the intelligence needed to outsmart attackers.
