https://www.hcl-software.com/blog/appscan/ai-in-application-security-powerful-tool-or-potential-risk (AI), in the constantly evolving landscape of cyber security, is being used by corporations to increase their security. As threats become increasingly complex, security professionals tend to turn towards AI. AI has for years been part of cybersecurity, is now being transformed into agentsic AI which provides flexible, responsive and context-aware security. The article focuses on the potential of agentic AI to change the way security is conducted, specifically focusing on the application to AppSec and AI-powered automated vulnerability fixing. Cybersecurity is the rise of Agentic AI Agentic AI refers to goals-oriented, autonomous systems that recognize their environment, make decisions, and implement actions in order to reach particular goals. Unlike traditional rule-based or reactive AI, these machines are able to adapt and learn and work with a degree of autonomy. For cybersecurity, this autonomy translates into AI agents that are able to continuously monitor networks and detect abnormalities, and react to threats in real-time, without the need for constant human intervention. The application of AI agents in cybersecurity is vast. These intelligent agents are able to detect patterns and connect them through machine-learning algorithms along with large volumes of data. These intelligent agents can sort through the noise generated by many security events and prioritize the ones that are essential and offering insights to help with rapid responses. Additionally, AI agents can learn from each interactions, developing their threat detection capabilities and adapting to constantly changing tactics of cybercriminals. Agentic AI and Application Security Although agentic AI can be found in a variety of application in various areas of cybersecurity, its effect on security for applications is noteworthy. The security of apps is paramount for organizations that rely ever more h
