September 23, 2026 The transition from generative artificial intelligence to agentic artificial intelligence represents a fundamental change in the cybersecurity problem. Conventional AI systems primarily generate information in response to prompts. Agentic systems can interpret objectives, plan activities, invoke tools, access enterprise data, communicate with other agents, modify systems, and take actions with limited or […]

4/13/2026 As I was writing this article, I was reminded of my teen years when I read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy and became fascinated by the theory of psychohistory – a fictional science developed by fictional mathematician Hari Seldon that was a prominent backdrop to the story. It combines mathematics, sociology, and statistics to predict […]
