AI Agents Accelerate Cyber Attacks and Defenses Alike
· Technology · Bloomberg, Business Standard
Attackers are deploying AI agents to automate reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning and phishing at machine speed, according to security leaders interviewed by Bloomberg. Defenders are responding with their own autonomous agents that can triage alerts, patch systems and hunt threats without human intervention.

Organizations that rely on manual analysis risk being overwhelmed by the volume and velocity of AI-driven campaigns. No single vendor or framework has yet emerged as the standard for agentic security.
