Agentic AI Poses Next Wave of Security Challenges for CISOs
While generative AI has weaponized phishing attacks over the past year, the emerging threat involves autonomous AI agents making business decisions and managing Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.
Autonomous AI agents are creating a new frontier of security challenges that extend far beyond the generative AI-powered phishing attacks that dominated the threat landscape over the past year.
Organizations now face the complex task of securing AI agents that make autonomous business decisions and handle non-human identities across their environments.
These agents will require unprecedented levels of data access, raising fundamental questions about governance and oversight that many security programs have not yet addressed, said Mike Beck, global CISO at Darktrace.
