"The same capabilities that benefit defenders also empower attackers. Adversaries are already using AI to enable autonomous reconnaissance and lateral movement, real-time adaptation to defenses, and scalable, low-cost attacks with minimal human involvement."
"Early rogue AI agents are probing environments, exploiting misconfigurations, and mimicking legitimate users. Attackers no longer need to control every step. They can deploy agents that behave like identities."
"Every major shift in cybersecurity has led to a wave of point solutions. The result is predictable: tool sprawl, siloed visibility, and operational complexity. These gaps often benefit attackers."
In March 2026, the RSA Conference in San Francisco focused on Agentic AI, emphasizing its role as an active participant in cybersecurity. Technologies like Mythos illustrate the dual-use nature of AI, benefiting both defenders and attackers. The Cloud Security Alliance warns of increased AI-driven attacks, while OpenAI expands its cybersecurity initiatives. Gartner predicts significant growth in AI spending, outpacing traditional security solutions. The rise of Agentic AI may lead to tool sprawl and operational complexity, creating vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit.
