exploit vulnerabilities has decreased significantly due to the incorporation of AI in offensive cyber strategies, reducing the traditional buffer from weeks to mere hours.<\/li>\n<li>The 2024-2025 Salt Typhoon campaign illustrates the implications of AI-accelerated cyber attacks, affecting critical infrastructure and threatening national security.<\/li>\n<li>To counter these threats, an agentic-AI-powered Risk Operations Center (ROC) is proposed, moving beyond passive monitoring to autonomous, real-time threat neutralization.<\/li>\n<li>The ROC advances risk mitigation by contextualizing and prioritizing assets and vulnerabilities, and by automating the remediation process.<\/li>\n<li>Agentic AI within the ROC can act without human intervention, leveraging a chain of command to resolve threats by analyzing dependencies and adjusting defenses at machine speed.<\/li>\n<li>To defend against AI-driven attacks, especially in disconnected environments like Navy destroyers, AI capabilities must be deployed locally and at the edge, enabling real-time defense decisions.<\/li>\n<li>To transition from paper-centric defense procedures to machine-readable and dynamic approaches, defense agencies must adopt a distributed system that uses asset intelligence, agentic reasoning, and continuous threat intelligence feeds.<\/li>\n<li>The future depends on moving to real-time risk management via the Cyber Security Risk Management Construct, introducing continuous monitoring, active control validation, and automated dashboards for ongoing Authority to Operate (cATO).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why the agentic AI-powered ROC is the new frontline of defense
