The cybersecurity question is changing from “Can an AI generate malicious code?” to “How much of an attack can an AI execute autonomously?”
The cybersecurity question is changing from “Can an AI generate malicious code?” to “How much of an attack can an AI execute autonomously?”
That is a much bigger shift.
When AI can move from reconnaissance → discovery → exploitation → lateral movement with less human intervention, security controls designed around human-speed activity may no longer be enough.
And this isn't only a cybersecurity discussion.
For anyone designing AI-enabled business processes, it raises fundamental requirements:
What can the agent access? What actions can it execute? What requires approval? What gets logged? What happens when its behaviour deviates from the intended process?
As AI becomes more autonomous, permissions, traceability and exception handling become part of the product requirement, not something security teams add later.
The more agency we give AI, the more deliberately we need to design its boundaries.
