AI Agents Redefine Lateral Movement Threats in Cybersecurity

AI agents that autonomously navigate and exploit access are redefining lateral movement threats in cybersecurity, according to the article. Traditional risk assessments focused on access alone, but with agentic AI the concern is what paths an autonomous system can discover and assemble with the access it already holds.
