Aaron Levie: AI agents will reshape cybersecurity, burning 100X more tokens than expected
brucemacv · x · 2026-10-22
Quoting the NSA's urgent advisory on two critical PHP vulnerabilities, Box CEO Aaron Levie argues cyber will be one of AI's most profound aspects:
- Agents give defenders a tireless workforce to hunt down and patch risks, while attackers use agents to find gaps faster
- Enterprises will care more than ever about managing networks, systems, data, and identity
- His key claim: we'll likely burn 100X more tokens on this attack-defense loop than imagined, since agents can scan every log, line of code, and traffic flow at previously incomprehensible scale
