Agentic AI systems—software that operates independently to complete complex tasks—are breaching corporate defenses faster than security teams can develop countermeasures, exposing a gap between AI capability deployment and defensive infrastructure. Autonomous agents can navigate networks, escalate privileges, and exploit multi-step vulnerabilities without human intervention, making traditional perimeter-based security obsolete. Organizations are caught between vendors racing to commercialize agentic capabilities and security practices built around human-paced attack timelines.
