Be Breach Ready: The True North Of Zero Trust 2.0 In The Age Of Autonomous Cyberattacks
Security Boulevard, Friday, February 13th, 2026
I was fascinated by the recent stories about the sudden ascension of Clawdbot, aka Moltbot, aka OpenClaw, driven by its capabilities and social media attention, marketed as 'the AI that actually does things,' amid growing interest in AI agents that can autonomously complete tasks, make decisions, and take actions on behalf of users without constant human guidance.
While this is an evolving story, it has the potential to breach the most well-guarded digital defenses, unlike the pernicious effects of ransomware stealthily hidden within digital enterprises. And as a demonstration of AI as a cyberattack engine, it is a preview of a very scary AI future. Especially since we have not yet solved the current mess we have created by adopting AI into an interconnected spaghetti of data and digital systems across data centers, the cloud, and industrial systems (OT/ICS/CPS/IIoT/IoMD).
