AI agents are increasingly used by attackers to autonomously identify and exploit vulnerabilities at scale, creating a new, rapidly expanding attack surface for organizations. Security experts urge enterprises to adopt continuous, AI-driven red teaming and penetration testing to proactively find and fix weaknesses, as traditional periodic human-led testing is too slow and limited to keep up with AI-powered threats. The integration of AI agents into offensive security aims to stay ahead of adversaries who continuously use AI to attack systems, highlighting the need to treat AI agents as privileged identities within a zero-trust security framework.
