Dell's security chief says agentic AI is lowering barriers to cyberattacks
Overview
John Scimone, president and chief security officer of Dell Technologies, says agentic AI has lowered the cost and barriers to entry for cyberattacks, so even the least sophisticated attacks are now more advanced than a year ago.
Dell is a partner in Anthropic's Project Glasswing, which gives vetted organizations access to powerful AI tools for securing critical systems.
Scimone says security teams will have to use AI to defend against AI, and that a small organization could eventually run a security program with thousands of agents. These are Scimone's claims, reported by SiliconANGLE, and the report does not include supporting data.
