Kai has announced External Attack Surface Management (EASM), now available on the Kai Autonomous Defense Platform, and the company also launched Kai Labs, an expanded research team focused on the hardest open problems where AI meets security.
Most exposure management programs only see inside, so they miss the exposures attackers find first.
That matters because the external attack surface changes every day: new cloud services, forgotten subsidiaries, test sites left online, and APIs and AI services stood up without a security review.
With EASM, Kai unifies internal and external exposures into a single remediation plan, accelerating the path to zero, and the external view sharpens what counts as real risk and lets teams address exposures comprehensively from one platform.
Kai Labs is led by Kylie McClanahan, PhD, Research Director, whose career spans vulnerability management, prioritization, and remediation.
Its first research areas are offensive learning, autonomous action, decision models, trusted autonomy, and security context, spanning how AI attackers learn, how fixes are generated and verified, and how defenders can trust autonomous action.
Kai Labs publishes its findings through blogs, conference talks, and peer-reviewed papers.
