In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue, the first AI agent, made history by defeating Garry Kasparov at chess. Since then, AI agents have advanced dramatically, evolving from single‑task systems to agents like OpenAI’s Operator, which can autonomously fill out forms, place orders, and schedule appointments. WordPress is a popular CMS that powers more than 20% of the top one million websites. Bringing AI agents into WordPress opens up new possibilities, making sites more capable and adaptive.

WordPress sites are adopting AI faster than any other web technology category, and the impact is already visible. Over 61% of WordPress site owners now use at least one AI tool for content creation or marketing. WordPress teams are using that access to write content, automate workflows, run chatbots, and process customer data at a scale that was simply not possible before. But as AI adoption grows, so does the risk.

See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo John White is the Field CISO for EMEA at Torq. A respected security executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience, John previously served as CISO at Virgin Atlantic, where he led a multi-year transformation deploying the Torq AI SOC Platform to modernize cyber operations.

In the last couple of years, accelerated AI adoption has created some terrific opportunities for enterprises, allowing them to reshape everything from business models to customer engagement and decision-making. Yet, this also brings up various critical governance challenges. While 52% of organizations have (fully/partially) deployed GenAI, nearly 8 in 10 haven’t reached full AI maturity in cybersecurity, according to a recent Ponemon Institute study in partnership with OpenText.

We are launching the Detectify MCP Server to deliver real-time vulnerability data and attack surface insights directly into your AI-powered workflows. Built for developers and AppSec teams using Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude Desktop, it delivers security data straight to your AI assistants via a remote-hosted server, giving you hacker-proof guardrails without adding anything new to deploy or maintain.

The era of "typing into a box" is over. For years, we viewed artificial intelligence as a digital assistant—a sophisticated autocomplete tool that waited for human input. But according to Martin Kraemer, KnowBe4’s CISO Advisor for Europe and the Middle East, that dynamic has shifted. We have moved from asking AI questions to giving AI jobs. In a recent deep-dive webinar, Martin explored the transition from AI tools to AI agents.
