Commonwealth Bank Builds Agentic AI Defenders

Australia’s Commonwealth Bank built an in-house agentic AI threat-hunting system, General Manager Andrew Pade said on Tuesday at Gartner’s Security & Risk Management Summit in Sydney. The tool ingests external research and bank data to detect threats across legacy, on-prem, SaaS and cloud systems, cutting assessment time from about two days to roughly 30 minutes. The bank says the agents reduce analyst drudgery and help manage rapidly growing attack volumes.
