Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n I’ll\u00a0give you the most pragmatic example:\u00a0I want to buy a pair of shoes, right?\u00a0I’m\u00a0going\u00a0to ask my agent to go search the internet to find the best price, best shipping, best availability for this pair of\u00a0shoes\u00a0so\u00a0I’m\u00a0not having to manually search 20 websites.\u00a0AI will be one of the best tools to help us quickly sort through a prolific volume of data and determine that an agent is doing what\u00a0they’re\u00a0supposed to.
\nThat’s\u00a0one use\u00a0case. The second use case is automated security operations centers.\u00a0Envision a\u00a0world where we can materially scale and improve our human efforts for things like\u00a0threat\u00a0hunting\u00a0and auto-remediation\u00a0of cyber vulnerabilities.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThe third use case:\u00a0non-human identities.\u00a0Everything has an identity in your environment\u00a0\u2013\u00a0your computer, your software, data. As an industry, we know how to manage human identities, but\u00a0we’ve\u00a0not done a fantastic job managing non-human identities because of the volume. Think about everything from a\u00a0healthcare device to an\u00a0automated mining vehicle in the middle of the desert to an oil rig\u00a0in the\u00a0ocean.\u00a0Those are\u00a0all connected devices, but they also have\u00a0decadeslong\u00a0life cycles. So how are you\u00a0going to\u00a0patch, update, etc.?\u00a0
\nAI will be\u00a0able to determine\u00a0if those devices are behaving in the manner they’re intended to behave\u00a0much more quickly than any other tooling,\u00a0and then get to the place where we’re automatically patching those devices\u00a0and\u00a0determining\u00a0whether\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0behaving in a malicious\u00a0manner or\u00a0if\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0just broken.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0just one of many positive use cases.\u00a0
\nIt’s\u00a0going to be a step change for the bad actors\u00a0and\u00a0a step change for the good guys.\u00a0I believe\u00a0that\u00a0even\u00a0with\u00a0AI,\u00a0the good guys are\u00a0going to stay ahead.\u00a0
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
