Defending at machine speed: Securing the public sector in the agentic era

Over the last three decades in cybersecurity, I've witnessed major paradigm shifts — yet none match the velocity and complexity of today's landscape. Attackers are now using AI to move at machine speed: accelerating intrusions, exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, and rendering legacy defenses obsolete.

The useful part

Over the last three decades in cybersecurity, I've witnessed major paradigm shifts — yet none match the velocity and complexity of today's landscape. Attackers are now using AI to move at machine speed: accelerating intrusions, exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, and rendering legacy defenses obsolete. Reactive, manual security reviews can no longer keep pace with sophisticated and increasingly automated threats.

How it works

  • Public sector teams require a unified, structured approach to continuously scan, validate, and remediate software vulnerabilities.
