“An agentic AI operator will run cyberattacks end-to-end, gathering what it needs, crafting convincing lures, trying a path, watching how the target’s protection or defense reacts, then quietly shifting tactics and timing until it gets what it wants.”

“What makes targets vulnerable is often easy to overlook — a single rogue device, an account that wasn’t disabled when someone left, a dormant application that hasn’t been updated, or a misconfigured security feature. Attackers only need to find one to succeed.”
