Security teams are increasingly adopting agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to manage the growing number of cyber threats. Unlike traditional chatbots that only respond to prompts, agentic AI can autonomously take pre-approved actions based on its analysis. Companies like Microsoft and CrowdStrike have integrated agentic AI into their security platforms, enabling features such as automatic triage of notifications. This advancement aims to alleviate the workload on cybersecurity professionals, addressing challenges like workforce shortages and high burnout rates. However, while confidence in these AI systems is growing, some skepticism about their reliability persists.
