Today’s threat actors are leveraging AI to deploy phishing kits, weaponise ransomware-as-a-service, automate credential stuffing, and exploit vulnerabilities at microsecond speed.
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the projected global economic impact of cybercrime is set to reach $10.5 trillion annually by the close of 2025—a testament to both the volume and velocity of adversarial activity. In this context, delays in detecting attacks mean failure. Defences must act immediately at the point of attack—not minutes or hours later.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is stepping up—not as a supporting player, but as the backbone of modern cybersecurity, writes Neehar Pathare, CEO at India-based 63SATS Cybertech, in an article for THE WEEK.
At the core of this transformation are autonomous agents, which are AI-driven systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting independently across dynamic as well as hyper-connected environments. Operating at sub-second speeds, these agents enable firms to detect, respond, and neutralize threats in real-time—often faster than adversaries can strike.
