April 10, 2026 — Draxis.ai, the AI-powered cyber risk intelligence platform for companies and vCISOs, today announced a major evolution of its core AI assistant: the launch of the AI vCISO Skills Platform. Previously known simply as “Ask AI,” the assistant has been redesigned and renamed the AI vCISO — reflecting its expanded role as a true virtual Chief Information Security Officer capable of delivering deep, domain-specific expertise across cybersecurity, insurance, strategy, and workflow automation.
The Skills Platform introduces an extensible architecture that allows the AI vCISO to invoke specialized capabilities on demand. Rather than a single general-purpose assistant, the AI vCISO now acts as an intelligent orchestrator — routing questions to the right expert skill, synthesizing insights across domains, and delivering answers grounded in the organization's live risk data.
The Problem with Generic AI in Cybersecurity
Enterprise security decisions increasingly require expertise at the intersection of multiple disciplines. A CFO asking about ransomware coverage needs a response that bridges cybersecurity risk, insurance policy language, and financial exposure modeling. A CISO preparing a board presentation needs strategic framing, not just data. A security engineer triaging an alert may need an automated remediation workflow triggered in seconds.
General-purpose AI falls short in these scenarios because it lacks both the organizational context and the domain depth to be genuinely useful. The AI vCISO Skills Platform solves both problems: it has full access to the organization's live Draxis risk posture, and it can now apply specialized domain expertise through purpose-built skills.
Launch Skills
The AI vCISO Skills Platform launches with four production-ready skills, each designed around the most critical questions security stakeholders ask:
Cyber Insurance Advisor
Analyzes uploaded insurance policies against the organization's real-time risk profile, identifying coverage gaps, over-insured areas, and exclusion risks. Generates broker-ready talking points tailored by stakeholder role. Learn more →
CISO Strategy Advisor
Provides executive-level strategic guidance on security program maturity, board communication, regulatory alignment, and risk prioritization. Draws on the organization's KRI trends, control effectiveness data, and financial exposure modeling to ground every recommendation.
n8n Workflow Automation Agent
Bridges risk intelligence and remediation by triggering n8n workflows directly from AI vCISO conversations. When a risk threshold is crossed or a control gap is identified, the Workflow Agent can automatically kick off ticketing, alerting, evidence collection, or multi-step remediation pipelines -- all within the same conversation.
Stakeholder Onboarding Agent
Guides new platform users -- from board members to security engineers -- through a personalized onboarding experience. Learns the user's role, priorities, and communication preferences to calibrate future AI vCISO responses accordingly.
The n8n Workflow Agent: Closing the Loop Between Intelligence and Action
One of the most significant additions in this release is the n8n Workflow Agent, which transforms the AI vCISO from a purely advisory tool into an action-capable system. The integration with n8n -- the leading open-source workflow automation platform with over 400 security-relevant integrations -- means that risk insights generated by the AI vCISO can immediately translate into real-world remediation actions.
Example: Automated Ransomware Response Workflow
A security engineer asks the AI vCISO about the organization's ransomware exposure. The AI vCISO identifies three control gaps contributing to elevated residual risk. The Workflow Agent automatically creates Jira tickets for each gap, pages the on-call engineer via PagerDuty, and updates the risk register in real time -- all triggered from within the conversation, with full audit trail.
Example: Compliance Evidence Collection
During an audit preparation conversation, the AI vCISO identifies missing evidence for three SOC 2 controls. The Workflow Agent triggers n8n pipelines to pull screenshots from AWS Config, pull logs from Splunk, and package them into an auditor-ready report -- reducing manual evidence collection time from days to minutes.
AI vCISO: A New Standard for Stakeholder-Aware Security Advisory
The renaming from "Ask AI" to "AI vCISO" signals more than a rebrand -- it reflects a fundamental shift in how Draxis.ai thinks about the role of AI in enterprise security. A vCISO is not a search engine. It is a trusted advisor who understands the organization, communicates differently with a CFO than with a CISO, and takes initiative when action is required.
The AI vCISO has been updated to reflect that standard. It now:
- Adapts its communication style to each stakeholder role -- financial framing for CFOs, technical depth for security engineers, governance language for board members
- Proactively surfaces insights based on observed changes in risk posture, not just in response to direct questions
- Maintains continuity across conversations, building a model of each stakeholder's priorities and communication preferences over time
- Invokes skills autonomously -- routing questions to the most relevant domain expert capability without requiring users to know which skill to invoke
- Takes action when authorized -- triggering n8n workflows, scheduling follow-up briefings, and generating stakeholder-ready reports on demand
"The gap between knowing your risks and acting on them has always been a people problem -- not enough experts, not enough time, and too much lost in translation between technical teams and business leaders. The AI vCISO Skills Platform closes that gap by putting the right expertise in the right conversation, every time."-- Draxis.ai
Why This Matters for vCISO Firms
The vCISO market is experiencing extraordinary growth, with MSP adoption surging 319% year-over-year as organizations seek cost-effective alternatives to full-time CISO hires at compensation packages exceeding $250,000 annually. For vCISO advisory firms using the Draxis platform, the Skills Platform represents a step-change in the scope of services they can deliver per client.
With the AI vCISO handling first-line advisory across insurance analysis, strategic guidance, and workflow orchestration, human vCISOs can focus their time on the high-judgment work that drives the deepest client value: interpreting ambiguous risks, navigating organizational dynamics, and advising on strategic investment decisions. The AI vCISO handles the always-on, always-available advisory layer that would otherwise require additional headcount for every client.
Availability
The AI vCISO Skills Platform is available today across all Draxis.ai tiers. All four launch skills are included at no additional cost:
- SMB tier ($2,500/mo) -- AI vCISO with all skills (150 queries/tenant/month)
- vCISO tier ($7,500/mo) -- AI vCISO with all skills across all client tenants (500 queries/tenant/month)
- Enterprise tier (custom) -- unlimited usage with dedicated support and custom skill development
The n8n Workflow Agent requires an active n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) with the Draxis webhook integration configured. Setup documentation is available in the platform knowledge base.
