AI hacking spurs shift in corporate security spending priorities

As AI hacking spreads, companies are not only increasing cybersecurity budgets but also changing spending priorities, benefiting some newer security technologies while sidelining parts of the traditional stack. Large firms are raising outlays for tools to monitor employee AI use, find vulnerabilities ahead of hackers and speed patching. Some are cutting spending on traditional vulnerability management, log collection and penetration testing. Gartner forecasts strong growth in the AI security market through 2028.

OpenAI says enterprise security must shift to agent-centric model in AI era

OpenAI warned that open-weight AI models have relatively low guardrails and, after fine-tuning and additional computation, can gain cyberattack capabilities approaching frontier models, requiring safeguards against misuse. Wana Tun, an applied AI security specialist at OpenAI, said malicious actors could fine-tune such models to cause significant harm. She said AI-driven cyberattacks are becoming more autonomous and called for enterprises to shift defenses toward AI agents to speed detection, verification and patch creation.
