From writing assistance to intelligent summarization, generative AI has already transformed the way businesses work. But we’re now entering a new phase where AI doesn’t just generate content, but takes independent action on our behalf.
This next evolution is called ‘agentic AI’, and it’s moving fast. Amazon recently announced a dedicated R&D group focused on agentic systems. OpenAI is advancing its Codex Agent SDK to build more capable AI “workers.” And a growing number of businesses are actively experimenting with autonomous agents to handle everything from code generation to system orchestration. While the potential is significant, so are the risks. These new systems bring fresh challenges for security teams, from unpredictable behavior and decision-making to new forms of supply chain exposure.

- AI cyber attacks are a ‘critical threat’. This is how NATO is countering them
December 26, 2022
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a massive role in cyber attacks and is proving both a “double-edged sword” and a “huge challenge,” according to NATO. “Artificial intelligence allows defenders to scan networks more automatically, and fend off attacks rather than doing it manually. But the other way around, of course, it’s the same game,” David van ...
- DARPA’s CASTLE to Fortify Computer Networks
October 24, 2022
An ever-expanding cyber-attack surface, infrequent computer vulnerability scans, and burdensome security procedures create a seemingly lopsided battle when it comes to defending critical computing assets. Couple those factors with costly cybersecurity assessments that often lack actionable feedback, and the odds may appear to favor bad actors. DARPA intends to change that dynamic through a new program ...
