CISOs must prepare for the rise of agentic AI, marking a significant evolution from previous AI models. While security copilots enhanced workflows, agentic AI introduces autonomy, enabling complex tasks and real-time threat responses. It poses both opportunities—like improving SOC efficiency and automating help desk operations—and challenges, including governance and trust issues. Although promising, widespread adoption of agentic AI is cautious, with many security leaders highlighting that it currently struggles to outperform traditional solutions. The technology's potential remains significant as it develops.
