Is your cloud security strategy ready for AI’s looming threat?

AI agents (autonomous systems that can make decisions and take actions) pose a new threat to cloud security by finding and exploiting weaknesses much faster than human attackers, potentially chaining together multiple misconfigurations to reach critical assets. Organizations are unprepared, with only 38% reporting confidence in their cloud security. The complexity of cloud environments, combined with agents' ability to test thousands of attack paths in minutes, means that traditional defenses based on authentication (proving who you are) alone are insufficient, and organizations must focus on authorization (controlling what authenticated users can actually do).
