One does not simply defend agentically Defenders can’t use AI in the same way attackers can, but there’s much they can do to unlock the potential of agentic cyber defence.

NCSC statement in response to recent incidents resulting from frontier AI evaluations A statement from Ollie Whitehouse, Chief Technology Officer at the NCSC, on AI security following recent incidents.
