Abstract: Artificial Intelligence, and particularly Agentic AI, has fundamentally altered software security in a matter of months. Agents are beginning to outperform humans at discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, and their scale has led to a surge of attacks against the systems we all depend on. I’ll discuss why this happened so suddenly, what Terrace Networks is doing to respond to the AI exploitation era, and finally close with a more general exploration of how AI will continue to impact our professional and personal lives.
