Next-generation Offensive Security Strategies Give Defenders the AI Advantage

As cyber-adversaries deploy AI agents for autonomous attacks, manual penetration testing can no longer keep pace. Traditional offensive strategies provide a static view that is often obsolete by the time results are delivered. To counter these threats, the industry is shifting toward automated, agentic AI defenses.

A new Omdia report surveyed 400 North American IT and security professionals to uncover how organizations are building, managing, and budgeting for modern offensive cybersecurity.

Download the report to learn:

  • How teams replace static testing with continuous offensive security (such as PTaaS) for real-time defense.
  • Why 94% of organizations value keeping humans in the loop as analysts shift to supervising autonomous workflows.
  • Why 88% of organizations are expanding their offensive security budgets over the next year.
  • What makes autonomous AI agents the foundation for the next evolution of offensive strategy.
