🛡️ AI agents are gaining the ability to reason, use tools, write code, and execute increasingly complex tasks. So what happens when cybercriminals put those capabilities to work?
In this episode of CYBERCRIME: From the Frontline, When AI Agents Become Attackers, Bitdefender experts examine how agentic AI could change both sides of cybersecurity, and why the advantage may not belong entirely to attackers.
🔊 In this episode, we look at:
↪︎ How agentic AI differs from traditional generative AI;
↪︎ Why autonomous AI could help attackers execute complex operations faster;
↪︎ How AI may lower the technical barrier for less-skilled cybercriminals;
↪︎ Where cost, computing requirements, reliability, and infrastructure still constrain AI-powered attacks;
↪︎ How defenders can use AI to identify security problems at machine speed;
↪︎ Why human oversight remains critical;
↪︎ How agentic AI can connect security teams, tools, and workflows in entirely new ways;
↪︎ Why scalable AI-powered cyberattacks may still face significant practical obstacles;
↪︎ How defenders can prepare now for attacks operating at greater speed and scale.
