Panaseer Launches AI Tool to Decode Cyber Risk Drivers and Close Hidden Gaps

Cybersecurity may be a data-rich domain, but making sense of that data—fast enough to prevent breaches—is a task that still overwhelms most enterprise teams. Now Panaseer, known for pioneering Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), has introduced a new AI-powered tool designed to cut through the noise: Key Drivers.

Launched today, Key Drivers is the first in a forthcoming suite of AI tools from Panaseer aimed at solving one of security’s most persistent problems—understanding why a risk posture has changed before it becomes a headline. Rather than drowning security teams in dashboards and anomaly alerts, the platform delivers real-time, business-contextual insights on the underlying factors driving risk shifts.

“Key Drivers doesn’t just flag anomalies, it explains them,” said Marc Moesse, Panaseer’s Chief Product Officer. “When you’re dealing with this level of complexity, it’s easy to fall back on assumptions or gut instinct. We’re replacing that guesswork with responsible AI that tells you what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.”

Built to analyze millions of control data points in seconds, the tool can isolate nuanced risk patterns that are nearly impossible to detect manually. Whether it’s a patching compliance issue confined to legacy systems in one region, or phishing test failures isolated within a business unit, Key Drivers helps teams quickly pinpoint root causes and operational implications.

Unlike typical security analytics tools, Key Drivers doesn’t just spit out metrics. It produces polished, paste-ready summaries tailored for stakeholder consumption—bridging the often-painful translation gap between technical teams and executive leadership.

“This is about giving CISOs and security analysts their time back,” said Jonathan Gill, CEO of Panaseer. “Every assessment we’ve done reveals the same ghosts: forgotten endpoints, orphaned cloud assets, retired servers still connected. These aren’t abstract issues. They’re real, residual risks that change shape daily. Visibility is everything.”

Gill frames residual risk as the "gaps hiding in plain sight”—vulnerabilities left open not due to negligence, but due to complexity, fragmentation, and lack of timely insight. Key Drivers is Panaseer’s answer to that challenge, surfacing subtle but critical shifts in posture as they happen and allowing for focused, corrective action.

The tool’s core functions include:

• Threshold-triggered analysis that automatically explains the cause of metric deviations.

• Business-context filters that let teams slice insights by location, system criticality, or organizational unit.

• Drillable asset-level data for deep dives into the exact users, devices, or systems responsible.

• Concise executive-ready summaries for audits, compliance reports, and board meetings.

While today’s launch targets existing Panaseer customers, it signals a broader push into AI-enhanced risk governance. The company teased a larger AI roadmap that will expand into areas such as governance, compliance automation, and adaptive risk forecasting.

With regulatory scrutiny tightening and security teams stretched thin, tools like Key Drivers represent a shift away from reactive firefighting toward proactive control. As Moesse put it: “It’s not about more data—it’s about making that data work smarter.”
