A vision of the autonomous, agentic future: Gearing cyber risk management and technology for the coming of artificial general intelligence.

Products of the artificial intelligence boom – from deep learning, large language models and generative AI to autonomous bots and agents – bring visions of artificial general intelligence (AGI) closer to reality. But superintelligence optimism is tempered by darker portents, as in the recent detection by Anthropic of a cyber espionage campaign, believed to be the first use of agentic AI “not just as an advisor, but to execute the cyberattacks themselves.”

With successive generations of technology, cybersecurity has only gotten more challenging. “AI attacking AI,” though anticipated, adds more layers of complexity and uncertainty. Presented as a counterforce: CyberAGI.

“We’ll need new guardians” to protect a world reshaped or remade by AI, says a blog by Saket Modi, co-founder and CEO of cyber risk technology company SAFE Security. “The maker always needs a checker. In this new era, CyberAGI must emerge as the balance.”

Assuming that AGI will be trained on specific domains, such as “HealthAGI” and “PhysicsAGI”, Modi fits CyberAGI into that pattern “to solve the defining problem of the digital age: making companies and individuals...
