How Agentic AI and Automation Are Changing Cybersecurity

AI is rapidly reshaping cybersecurity: while it boosts defender efficiency, attackers increasingly leverage AI for scalable phishing, reconnaissance, data analysis, deepfakes, and automated operations. The report highlights heightened risk from agentic systems if compromised, recommends defense-in-depth controls (agent monitoring, email filtering, endpoint protection, DLP, identity and access controls, monitoring, incident response, and security training), and stresses continuous learning and human vigilance.
