Ben Bajarin: agentic AI in cyber defense is the next frontier, but authority limits remain the challenge
BenBajarin · x · 2026-09-11
Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies published a new report arguing agentic AI is becoming a major opportunity for enterprise cyber defense.
- Enterprise AI adoption has moved from basic LLM pilots to agents that interpret goals, decide next steps, and work around the clock — usage has outpaced governed production
- Agents can investigate threats, find vulnerabilities, and prepare fixes; the next challenge is deciding how much response authority enterprises can safely grant: clear limits, approval for sensitive actions, and recovery paths
- Conviction is High that agentic AI becomes core to cyber defense; Medium that restricted frontier models form a separate revenue pool, with no evidence yet of sustained paid production use
