This report explains that cybersecurity has reached a turning point where human-paced defenses can no longer keep up with AI-driven threats. Attackers are already using AI to automate reconnaissance, exploitation, and escalation at scale, while many organizations still rely on manual security processes, creating a major readiness gap. It highlights that AI is now acting as a quasi-autonomous agent inside enterprises, expanding the attack surface and increasing risks like data exfiltration and automated attacks. Despite this, only a small percentage of organizations have fully integrated AI-aware security across the lifecycle. The key takeaway is that security must shift to continuous, machine-speed systems embedded into development and runtime to keep pace with AI.
