3 pieces in Agentic AI.
Eleven months after the first detailed account of an AI-orchestrated espionage campaign, agent-assisted attacks have become routine in threat reporting. A synthesis of what the year’s public reporting shows, and which defensive assumptions held up.
Agents are moving from pilots into daily work, and some are arriving without anyone deciding to deploy them. A practical starting point for governance: an inventory of the access each agent holds and the actions it can take.
The first publicly documented espionage campaign run largely by an AI agent changes the tempo defenders should plan for. What the disclosure showed, what it didn’t, and how to adjust detection, triage and response.
