Raising the Cybersecurity Stakes: Ante up for the Agentic Era

Organizations are rapidly adopting AI agents (autonomous systems that can execute tasks and make decisions without human intervention), but this creates serious security risks that traditional defenses cannot match. Threat actors are developing agentic attacks (cyberattacks powered by AI that learn and adapt autonomously) that move faster than human security teams can respond, while AI agents themselves lack the judgment to avoid harming their own enterprises. The security industry must evolve from manual fixes to automated, scaled remediation strategies to defend against machine-speed attacks.
