AI Agents That Hack v. Ones That Get Hacked: Why Cybersecurity Will Ramp Up

Chris Latimer, co-founder and CEO of Vectorize and co-founder of Mattermost, Ian Tien, say agentic AI shifts the risk from what AI says to what it does, with AI agents that hack and agents that get hacked. They say infrastructure for agent identity, security, and controls barely exists yet, and external attacks pose greater scale while internal insider threats remain newer and harder to gauge. Both see industry calls for federal AI guardrails as overdue, with Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META) among those testifying before lawmakers.
