As AI moves into everyday enterprise use, it is rapidly expanding the attack surface and introducing new forms of risk – and reward. Gen AI and early agentic systems are now embedded into SaaS platforms and business workflows, often outpacing the policies and controls put in place to protect them.
At the same time, the scale and sophistication of AI threats is putting a strain on internal teams, accelerating a shift toward managed services to maintain coverage. Still, defensive AI properly integrated and deployed can help plug these gaps.
With AI-driven threats prompting widespread upgrades to security tools and processes, it’s beyond question that AI is now a foundational element of modern security operations.
The implication is clear: securing AI should be a strategic priority for every organization. Those that act with urgency to invest in purpose-built AI-driven defense, with appropriate governance, will be best positioned to manage risk and sustain resilience as the era of AI continues to take hold.
