Executive summary
For today’s CISO, the conversation around AI has moved beyond hype and into the practical discussion of revenue acceleration, increased productivity, competitive differentiation, and risk reduction. The question is no longer “if” AI should be used, but “how” it can be scaled to measurably improve an organization’s growth trajectory and security posture.
Our latest research confirms this fundamental change in business mindset. The next evolution in AI-driven security is the shift to AI autonomy from AI assistance. AI agents now act as extensions of your security team, executing investigation and response workflows within your predefined guardrails. This allows security teams to move from a reactive to a proactive defense posture.
