Cyberattacks Grow 40%, but Budgets Not Keeping Up

Has AI given attackers the upper hand? Offense has the advantage that they’re not operating under ethical rules, whether they’re state actors or others, they’re not constrained. So, defenders need accurate data to know what’s happening in their environment to be able to counter those attackers quickly, in real time, at massive scale.

AI agents present a new threat where identity is the number one challenge that organizations are going to continue to struggle with. Organizations must develop capabilities to detect malicious AI activity, particularly compromised agents and synthetic content, while managing security changes across their networks.

“How do we make sure we have better tools but also use them responsibly? That’s the real crux,” Streetman said. “Real-time insight at scale is more important than ever before.”

In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSAC Conference 2025, Streetman also discussed:

• How complete visibility can enable changes at speed and scale;
• Working with Microsoft Security Copilot;
• The role of agentic AI in improving operations such as threat triage, alert prioritization and incident response.
