Agentic AI, autonomous systems that can reason, adapt and act without constant prompting, is poised to become a major disruptor in cybersecurity, with forecasts that one‑third of enterprise applications will embed such agents by 2028. The technology promises to alleviate alert fatigue in SOCs, accelerate penetration testing, improve vulnerability prioritisation and scale security operations amid a talent shortage. However, its autonomy also creates new attack surfaces, including prompt‑injection, data‑privacy breaches and jail‑breaking risks that could turn defensive tools into liabilities. Successful deployment will require robust governance, continuous monitoring and human oversight at critical decision points.
