The Two Cybersecurity Problems AI Leaders Need to Understand

Description and use

<p>By Neil Lawrence @ Trent (Agentic AI Security)</p> <p>AI is changing cybersecurity in two fundamentally different ways. The first is already familiar: AI makes it faster and easier to find and exploit weaknesses in software. The second is less familiar and potentially more difficult to manage: an AI agent can itself become the source of unexpected and unsafe behavior.</p> <p>I think of these as Type 1 and Type 2 cybersecurity problems.</p> <p>The distinction matters because they require different responses. Type 1 calls for stronger versions of the security practices we already know. Type 2
