It was hard to find an exhibition booth at RSAC 2025 that did not include Agentic AI somewhere within their messaging. Last year in 2024, we witnessed many people and organizations exploring the theory of how Agentic AI could be used within Cybersecurity. A year later we are now looking at where can it be integrated today and how it has enhanced cybersecurity solutions overall.
As part of the 2025 Cyber Security Tribe annual report we asked our CISO community if their organization make use of Agentic AI within its cybersecurity and 59% stated its a work in progress. This reveals how organizations are now looking at how they can make use of the technology in their cybersecurity defences. However, the industry has a lack of raw data due to it’s infancy and we are still looking at thought leaders to help get the best results from Agentic AI and to learn of its true potential.
We were lucky enough at RSAC 2025 to interview a series of industry experts to explore this issue, “where exactly are we with Agentic AI in cybersecurity in 2025?”

We’re still very much in the first inning of AI’s impact on the cybersecurity industry. In 2025, I’ve been seeing vibe coding become more commonplace. Also, organized hacker groups are leaning on AI tools for rapid development and contextual automation of social engineering phishing, vhishing, and smishing vector attacks aimed at a widening scope of targets. As a result, I’m expecting an increase in the success and frequency of smaller technology enhanced social engineering attacks that steal less than $1 million to avoid FBI involvement.
