Salesforce warns of AI-driven 'agentic' security threats accelerating this quarter
CRM•Salesforce's CEO warns that AI-driven 'agentic' cybersecurity threats will surge this quarter as enterprises deploy vendor-supplied and bespoke AI agents. He predicts that after software vulnerability exploitation, bad actors will rapidly target identity compromise using large models, boosting demand for identity security solutions.
1. Agentic AI Adoption Surge
CEO Mark says virtually all enterprise customers will adopt AI agents from major vendors and build bespoke agents, creating a tidal wave of usage that could reshape security priorities in the coming quarters.
2. AI-Powered Identity Compromise Threats
He cautions that after AI models expose software vulnerabilities, bad actors will use large language models to automate identity compromise, impersonating legitimate users and escalating demand for identity security tools.
