How Agentic AI and Automation Are Changing Cybersecurity

There is no question that AI is changing cybersecurity in a massive way. In many respects, its impact is comparable to the rise of the internet. AI tools are helping organizations improve efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and process data at a speed humans simply cannot match. Unfortunately, the same technology helping defenders is also being adopted by cybercriminals just as quickly. For cybersecurity professionals, keeping up with AI and agentic developments is no longer optional.

Autonomous AI vs Zero-Day Attacks: The New Cybersecurity Shift

For decades, finding a zero-day flaw followed a predictable script: a highly skilled human researcher spent weeks staring at source code, digging for edge cases, and manually stitching together an exploit. In April 2026, Anthropic flipped that script by announcing Claude Mythos. This frontier model didn’t just mark an incremental upgrade; it introduced autonomous, machine-speed vulnerability hunting.

Prevent Sensitive Data Exposure With Egnyte AI Safeguards

AI Safeguards help you control what AI can see, share, and do, by protecting sensitive content from AI exposure. AI Safeguards’ coverage extends across Egnyte AI Assistant, to AI agents and our MCP Server. Safeguards are available across Egnyte’s mobile, desktop, and web platforms.

Runtime Observability for AI Agents: What to Instrument and Why

Every guide to AI agent observability tells you what to capture — prompts, tool calls, token usage, traces, syscalls. Almost none address which of those signal sources you can still trust when the agent itself is part of the threat model. That distinction is the entire difference between observability that helps your SRE team debug a slow reasoning chain and observability that helps your security team investigate a breach.

Securing AI agents: Why guardrail placement is a key design decision

When teams start building AI agents, especially with managed systems like Amazon Bedrock, they often wonder whether simply enabling guardrails is enough to secure their agents. A framework like Amazon Bedrock Guardrails provides a solid foundation for content filtering and policy enforcement, but having guardrails in place is only part of the equation.

Analyze SMS phishing with an AI agent in Tines

Automate SMS phishing triage with AI — employees upload a screenshot, and Tines handles the rest in under 5 minutes. When employees forward suspicious texts, security teams still have to manually review screenshots, extract indicators, and route cases. This Five Minute Flow shows how to automate the entire process using the Tines AI action with Claude Sonnet — from employee submission to SOC case creation, IOC enrichment, and escalation when multiple employees report the same threat.

Is anything about AI worth the hype?

Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad argues that when it comes to AI in the SOC, alert prioritization, anomaly detection, and SOC efficiency are where the real value is. The rest is mostly noise. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, the cybersecurity strategist and three-time author draws a clear line between where AI delivers and where the industry has oversold it. Full autonomous SOCs, perfect attack prediction, and replacing human analysts all fall on the hype side. AI narrows focus and accelerates decisions, but the final call still belongs to humans.

Salt Cloud Connect for Github

Your developers are shipping agents, MCP servers, and APIs faster than security can see them. GitHub Connect changes that. Salt scans your repositories and surfaces every agent, MCP server, and API hiding in your codebase, then maps them into the Agentic Security Graph. You see the agentic infrastructure forming in code, before it ever reaches production. No more waiting for runtime to find out what shipped. No more blind spots between dev and prod. Govern what's being built from day one.
