In this Techstrong AI interview, Mike Vizard speaks with David Brauchler, technical director at NCC Group, about agentic AI and the security risks associated with these evolving systems. Brauchler explains that while agentic AI builds on existing technologies like chatbots and language models, the key difference is that these AI agents can autonomously execute tasks, such as making purchases or managing accounts. This shift raises significant security concerns, as compromised AI agents could be manipulated to perform unintended actions, making them a new and attractive attack vector for cyber threats.
