A long-time security observer says this year's Black Hat will spotlight two AI security issues that are moving from theory to operational risk.
- Agentic AI is becoming a new attack surface because these systems can take actions inside real workflows.
- Prompt injection is expected to move from a niche concept to a mainstream security headline.
- The underlying concern is that most organizations still have not thought through what happens when autonomous agents are compromised or manipulated.
