Inside Glasswall’s company-wide AI strategy
While some businesses are busy bolting AI onto existing processes, others are rethinking their approach from the ground up. At Glasswall, we fall firmly into the latter camp.
By embedding it into the way we operate, build security solutions and deliver value, we are working to ensure every team and individual has the tools and opportunities to enhance their work using AI and ML. At the same time, we're putting advanced machine learning at the heart of our product innovation, including the development of Foresight, our AI-powered threat detection and analysis platform. More on that shortly.
Driving company-wide AI advocacy and adoption
To harness the full potential of AI, we’ve made it a shared responsibility. Initiatives range from boosting automation and improving decision-making to increasing operational efficiency, meaning every team at Glasswall is encouraged to explore how AI can enhance what they do.
We’ve set out our vision in a companywide AI Advocacy and Adoption strategy and introduced a dedicated budget allocation to support AI enablement across the business. Our tool evaluation process has also been updated to ensure new solutions meet strict security and data privacy requirements, with every platform fully assessed and monitored to maintain a clear governance structure.
To support experimentation and knowledge sharing, we’ve also launched a community-led AI guild and created a central repository for homegrown tools. Training and development have also been prioritised to ensure everyone has the confidence and capability to apply AI in their role. This internal push is already paying off in the form of faster workflows, smarter processes and a growing number of internal use cases being shared across the business.
"I’m really excited about the year ahead and what we’ll achieve by continuing to embed AI into how we work across the business. It’s my top priority for learning and development at Glasswall. We’re investing in the right tools, sharing what’s working, and building the skills needed to move fast. This is how we’ll significantly boost quality and velocity while keeping headcount mostly static. Every team has a part to play in finding AI tools that make them more effective and drive productivity. If you’re not already exploring how to use AI in your role, there’s a real risk of falling behind in your profession and in the wider industry." - Luke Robbertse, VP Operations
AI in action – Glasswall Foresight
Turning to product development more specifically, Glasswall Foresight is an advanced AI-powered data analytics solution designed to address modern cybersecurity challenges, particularly the widespread threat of malicious files. Combining cutting-edge machine learning and CDR analysis, Foresight delivers precise probabilistic threat assessments while seamlessly integrating existing workflows. Key features include:
- Retrospective analysis for enhanced risk assessments
- Adaptive sanitization to customize security policies
- Standalone malware detection, catering to users without CDR integration
- Platform compatibility across Windows, Linux and popular threat identification tools, including ReversingLabs and VirusTotal
Foresight is engineered for organizations requiring robust malware detection and file security, offering unparalleled flexibility through configurable detection thresholds and sanitization policies. This adaptability allows users to balance security with operational efficiency while meeting the evolving demands of information security.
By offering a unique combination of AI/ML and CDR technology, Foresight enables organizations to identify and neutralize even the most sophisticated file-based threats with unmatched precision. This is well-suited to addressing zero-day malware threats, where the file must remain unchanged, for example, in a legal evidentiary process.
“AI is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, and at Glasswall, we're leading that transformation. By combining artificial intelligence with our pioneering approach to cybersecurity, we’re advancing the state of the art. We deliver cutting-edge, proactive AI-based solutions - built on intelligence and precision.” - Dr Aqib Rashid, Senior Data Scientist.
This is just the beginning. As our internal AI ecosystem grows, we’re focused on further embedding these advanced technologies as part of an imaginative and structured approach. Stay tuned for further updates.
