Value-driven AI is now a strategic imperative, central to modern security toolkits. With disciplined governance and clear purpose, AI enables organizations to anticipate, withstand and counter cyber threats with unprecedented speed, precision and scale. Each deployment must measurably reduce risk and build trust.

"Cybersecurity threats aren't going away, and with AI they're even more and more insidious," Sarbari Gupta said.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) revealed that its AI-driven cybersecurity agent, Big Sleep, has successfully intercepted and neutralized an active security threat, marking a milestone in automated cyber defense.

Cybersecurity researchers are warning that hackers have started exploiting flaws in chatbots to carry out AI phishing attacks.

Google’s AI agent Big Sleep, first revealed last year, has recently uncovered a security flaw (CVE-2025-6965) in SQLite that had been floating around in the wild, known only to attackers. This discovery, powered by insights from the Google Threat Intelligence Group, shows how AI can now catch bugs before they blow up.

While AI-powered commercial platforms such as CrowdStrike and Darktrace have made strides in anomaly detection and threat analytics, they are generally restricted to specific layers of the cybersecurity ecosystem.

Business leaders face a crossroads as AI-enabled "vibe coding" reshapes software development. The convenience and speed are undeniable, as are the hidden cybersecurity risks. To protect your organization, take these proactive steps: • Deploy automated security scanning tools to catch vulnerabilities in real time.
