Agentic AI is Transforming Security – What Enterprise

Leaders Need to Know

How Autonomous Systems Are Reshaping Threat Detection, Response, and Vulnerability
Management

By Michiel Prins, Co-Founder & Senior Director, Product Management, HackerOne

Agentic AI is the latest evolution in artificial intelligence, bringing a new level of autonomy to digital
systems. Unlike traditional AI, which relies heavily on user input, agentic AI operates independently,
making decisions and taking actions based on real-time data. According to Gartner, by 2028, one-third
of enterprise software applications will incorporate agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024. This shift
will enable 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously, drastically changing industries,
particularly in cybersecurity.

Agentic AI offers a new approach to threat detection, response, and vulnerability management. However,
with its potential comes new risks. Enterprise leaders must understand both the benefits and challenges
to make informed decisions about integrating agentic AI into their security strategy.
