AI Security Treats Autonomous Systems As Infrastructure

Security experts warn organizations must rework defenses as AI agents gain autonomy, enabling rapid, self-directed cyber actions. Following Anthropic’s 2025 demonstration that an AI autonomously executed most steps of a cyberattack, experts say periodic audits are insufficient and urge continuous inventory, short-lived machine credentials, and real-time monitoring. By 2026, firms should govern AI as living infrastructure to prevent cascading failures from unmanaged machine identities and shadow operations.
