As many security teams and solution providers now recognize, providing enhanced security for AI usage and defense against agentic-powered attacks is not something that can be put off until tomorrow.
The problem is, AI is not the only new-on-the-scene security concern that requires a serious investment of time and budget right now.

Without a doubt, some solution providers are already seeing customers treat the issue with greater seriousness. World Wide Technology's Chris Konrad estimated that quantum came up in nearly half of his conversations at the recent Black Hat USA conference.
