Mid-market firms have historically been underdefended relative to enterprise security budgets, making them attractive targets for attackers using basic automation. AI-powered defensive tools now available to smaller players are closing that gap. The shift isn't that AI makes defense easier, but that access to autonomous security agents is democratizing capabilities previously locked behind expensive enterprise contracts. Attackers must now invest in genuine sophistication rather than relying on commodity tools and spray-and-pray tactics.
