The Unit 42 Threat Intelligence Team at Palo Alto Networks, a company focused on cybersecurity, warned about a growing threat in the global landscape of the sector with the adoption of agentic artificial intelligence.

Cybercriminals are increasingly using Agentic AI to carry out automated, adaptive, and increasingly difficult-to-contain attacks. In the year 2024 alone, Unit 42 responded to more than 500 significant cyberattacks across industries in over 38 countries.
