Security Culture Is a Team Sport, and AI Is Raising the Stakes

F5, Tuesday, October 27th, 2026

F5 CISO Christopher Burger says security culture depends on engaged people and that AI is compressing the time to identify risks.

In a Cybersecurity Awareness Month post, F5 CISO Christopher Burger argues that the hardest part of security is culture, not technology, and that engaged employees are the strongest defense.

He describes a company-wide F5 program featuring expert sessions on emerging threats and AI, hands-on challenges, and activities such as a security scavenger hunt.

Burger notes that AI speeds up attacks and shrinks decision time, while giving defenders a similar opportunity, and urges deliberate adoption of AI agents as they inherit more access.

He calls for collective defense and shared intelligence across the industry.
