From Assistive to Agentic: The AI Shift That's Redefining Threat Management

Modern enterprise security teams use 40+ separate tools that don't communicate with each other, creating delays in threat response even though breaches stay undetected for an average of 43 days. The article argues that organizations need "agentic AI" (AI systems that autonomously act and make decisions across multiple systems continuously), not just "assistive AI" (AI that helps humans do existing tasks faster), to implement Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM, a framework for ongoing threat assessment) and match the speed at which modern attackers operate.
