Summary
When it comes to using agentic AI, make sure you can walk before you run. Agentic AI tools are starting to appear in real organisations, not just research labs. These tools don’t just generate content or predictions; they can plan, make decisions and take actions on your behalf. This capability can be beneficial, including in cyber defence, but it can also introduce new risks if used without care. sets out why organisations should start small, use agents only for low-risk tasks, and apply established cyber security This blog summarises the key points from that guidance, and will be of use to anyone involved in the design, development, deployment and operation of agentic AI systems. Agentic AI represents the next step for the most advanced generative AI (also known as ‘frontier AI’). Rather than outputting a prediction or new content, agentic systems can access data sources, remember context, make decisions, use tools, and take actions in pursuit of a goal.
