In 2025, we are witnessing a specialized AI transformative shift in cybersecurity through the application of Agentic AI, where multiple specialized AI agents work collaboratively to handle different aspects of security operations. For application security, AutoFix is the ultimate goal where AI agents understand the current threats, apply exploit payloads, build unit test plans, analyze reachability and exploitability in code, prevent hallucinations, and fix security vulnerabilities in real-time, dramatically reducing the time from detection to remediation from weeks to mere seconds and minutes – relieving the developer from the burden of security.

Domains like network security can apply AI agents to continuously monitor network patterns and learn from them to adapt and catch unknown attacks in an adaptive line of defense. In the Identity domain, you could have one agent monitoring user behavior patterns, another analyzing authentication attempts, and another managing privilege escalation requests, creating a zero-trust environment that continuously validates users dynamically. But the application of Agentic AI goes far beyond into the worlds of threat intelligence, cloud security, incident response, and endpoint security as well, where multiple agents work together to monitor behavior throughout the system that dynamically responds to new and emerging threats without signatures or policies or heuristics or algorithms.

The future of cybersecurity in Agentic AI is wide open, and maybe a bit too wide. With the bad guys leveraging AI to find new threat vectors at the speed of computing, very little will be able to detect, much less prevent, the adversary other than AI. In 2025, we will see the beginnings of agents being applied to cyber, and in 2026 and beyond, we will see if they flourish to understand the adversary’s threat patterns and attack methodologies, sharing insights across networks and organizations to create a collective defense mechanism. This collaborative intelligence, combined with human oversight, will finally give us a realistic shot at preventing the 99.999% of today’s and future cyberattacks, something I’ve been working toward throughout my entire career.
