Diligent introduced a new AI-powered cyber risk management solution to help organizations understand cybersecurity threats through stronger business context. The company said the platform helps teams connect technical security findings with business priorities while reducing manual effort. In addition, AI-powered cyber risk management improves visibility across cybersecurity, compliance, enterprise risk, and audit functions. Diligent plans to make the platform available in summer 2026.
Diligent Connects Cybersecurity Risk With Business Priorities
Diligent Cyber Risk Management includes AI-powered cyber risk assessments that connect threat, vulnerability, asset, and control information to generate risk scenarios, scores, and explanations. As a result, security teams can prioritize mitigation efforts based on business impact rather than technical severity alone.
The platform also introduces automated, asset-level risk scoring tied to critical business processes. This helps organizations identify where exposure is highest and guides patching, remediation, and cybersecurity investments more effectively.
In addition, Diligent provides a centralized workspace for remediation and IT compliance. Teams can define treatment plans, assign ownership, monitor progress, and automate compliance testing across frameworks. Meanwhile, auto-updating dashboards connect cyber risks to strategic goals and critical operations, helping leadership teams prepare board reporting faster.
The offering runs through the Diligent One Platform, allowing organizations to manage enterprise risk, audit, and cyber risk together. Therefore, businesses gain a more consistent view of risk without conflicting reporting structures.
“Municipal security teams don’t have the luxury of piecing together risk from scattered scans and spreadsheets. We need up-to-date insight into how cybersecurity can best protect the services our community depends on,” said Dave Schultz, Risk Manager, Risk and Controls, City of Lethbridge. “An agentic solution that accelerates assessments and clearly connects threats and vulnerabilities to strategic priorities would be transformative in helping us make credible recommendations to leadership.”
The platform combines technical security information with business context through one system designed to support end-to-end cyber risk workflows. Rather than reviewing disconnected tools and reports, organizations can now assess threats, vulnerabilities, controls, and business exposure from a centralized environment.
“Most security teams are drowning in vulnerability scans, threat feeds and control data, yet lacking the one thing the board keeps asking for: a clear picture of what is truly at risk for the business,” said Scott Bridgen, General Manager, Risk & Audit at Diligent. “Diligent Cyber Risk Management turns static risk registers and checkbox compliance into an AI-powered system of action, helping organizations prioritize the security decisions that matter and clarify the impact of AI, IT and cyber risk to management and the board.”
