Agentic AI and the Cyber Arms Race
This addresses the evolving cyber arms race for policymakers and security professionals, but it is incremental as it builds on existing discussions of AI in cybersecurity.
The paper examines how Agentic AI is transforming cybersecurity by enabling both attackers and defenders to automate tasks, potentially leveling the playing field for less-resourced actors in cyber warfare and global politics.
Agentic AI is shifting the cybersecurity landscape as attackers and defenders leverage AI agents to augment humans and automate common tasks. In this article, we examine the implications for cyber warfare and global politics as Agentic AI becomes more powerful and enables the broad proliferation of capabilities only available to the most well resourced actors today.
