AI moves from assistant to attack operator
Recent threat research describes AI performing hands-on work within live intrusions, accelerating malware development, reconnaissance, exploitation, and operational decision-making. The governance question is no longer whether attackers use AI, but where autonomy changes the risk curve.
Vector: Agentic operations
Risk: Speed and scale
Control: Human authorization
Need: Behavior monitoring

Real-world AI cyber activity mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
Anthropic researchers mapped observed AI-enabled cyber operations to ATT&CK techniques, highlighting how models can lower barriers, compress timelines, and broaden tactical reach even when the actor is not highly sophisticated.
Framework: MITRE ATT&CK
Focus: Real-world misuse
Lesson: Capability diffusion
Action: Threat-model agents

A NEW MEXICO STORY
From the Rio Grande Valley
to the executive table.
Gavin grew up in Española, where academic discipline, family, community, and the realities of northern New Mexico shaped the way he sees leadership. He learned early that intelligence matters, but the ability to explain, listen, and connect matters just as much.
At the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, technology became more than machines and networks. It became a way to solve problems, strengthen institutions, protect people, and create opportunity without leaving home behind.
