The May 2026 edition of Neuco’s Cyber Security Insight explores a sector being rapidly reshaped by artificial intelligence, with investment flowing into technologies designed to strengthen cyber resilience, secure AI adoption and prepare organisations for future threats. As the industry geared up for Infosecurity Europe, a clear theme emerged: cybersecurity innovation is increasingly focused on enabling organisations to embrace new technologies without compromising security.
This month’s featured articles highlight two companies at the forefront of that transformation. Socket’s rise to a $1 billion valuation demonstrates the growing importance of securing software supply chains in AI-driven development environments, while Lastwall’s latest funding round reflects increasing demand for sovereign, identity-first cybersecurity solutions capable of protecting critical infrastructure and government systems against evolving threats.
The industry news section showcases several major developments, including Exaforce’s $125 million investment to advance AI-powered security operations and Quantum Bridge’s funding to accelerate the adoption of quantum-safe networking technologies. Readers will also find updates on autonomous offensive security from XBOW and AI agent governance from Geordie AI, highlighting how organisations are tackling emerging risks created by automation and artificial intelligence.
This edition’s featured podcast welcomes Ray Ruemmele, CRO at Evolve Security, who shares insights into proactive cyber defence and offensive security leadership, an increasingly important topic as organisations move from reactive security models to more strategic, threat-led approaches.
