Exploring the dual role of AI agents in modern cybersecurity within a panel debate.

As AI agents become increasingly embedded in our digital ecosystems—both as local assistants and cloud-orchestrated services—concerns about security are escalating. In recent years, we’ve witnessed a surge in the capabilities of malicious actors who now leverage advanced AI tools to automate and scale attacks. At the same time, everyday users and organizations are placing growing trust in AI-powered tools, often without fully understanding the risks.
This panel will explore the dual-edged nature of AI agents: how they empower both defenders and attackers, and how blind trust in automation can introduce new vulnerabilities. We’ll discuss real-world scenarios, emerging threats, and the evolving role of security professionals in an era where agents act autonomously, make decisions, and sometimes even collaborate with other agents.
Are we prepared for a future where agents are not just tools—but actors in the security landscape?
