Every enterprise today is in a race. We are racing to put AI to work — from copilots to autonomous agents — because the potential for productivity and innovation is extraordinary. But as we accelerate, we are discovering that the road itself has changed. For decades, cybersecurity was built on a “deterministic” model. We knew how applications behaved: Input A led to Output B. If an application did something unexpected, it was a bug or a breach. The threat surface, while vast, was relatively static. The page has officially turned on that era. AI introduces a fundamental shift in how applications behave, reason, and use data. AI models are non-deterministic; they are adaptive, creative, and constantly evolving. This means the threat surface is no longer static. It expands and changes in ways that traditional, rule-based security tools simply cannot match.
