Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every industry, from retail to finance to healthcare. With the power to automate processes, surface real-time insights, and enhance decision-making, AI is quickly becoming central to digital innovation strategies. Organizations adopting AI today are laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s competitive edge. But with this opportunity comes new risk. As AI systems become more autonomous — capable of reasoning, making decisions, and using tools without direct human oversight — they introduce a new class of security challenges. This evolution, referred to as agentic AI, requires organizations to think beyond traditional cloud or application security solutions.
