Are we on the path to AI defenders vs. AI attackers?

Swarms of AI bots are now being used to continuously test security perimeters.

In this episode, Michael Baker, VP and Global CISO at DXC Technology, discusses the shift to AI-driven security operations. He recently met with startups working on agentic pentesting to find vulnerabilities before bad guys do.

The advantage? You control these bots and get immediate feedback. The threat? Adversaries are building the exact same capabilities right now.

Any weakness in your attack surface could be exploited in minutes instead of hours or days. Traditional human-driven security operations simply can't keep pace with machine-speed attacks and exploitation.

Michael's prediction is that by spring 2026, it will become obvious that machine versus machine warfare is the new reality in cybersecurity. The question isn't whether this will happen, but whether your organization is preparing for it now.

Organizations that continue doing cybersecurity the same old way will find themselves behind the eight ball. The opportunity is to tip the scales back in favor of defenders by leveraging technology that operates at machine speed.
