• The era of AI is reshaping both opportunity and risk faster than any shift security leaders have seen. • Every organization is feeling the momentum; and for security teams, the question is no longer if AI will transform their work, but how to stay ahead of what comes next. • At Microsoft, we see this moment giving rise to what we call the Frontier Firm: organizations that are human-led and agent-operated. • With more than 80% of leaders already using agents or planning to within the year, we’re entering a world where every person may soon have an entire agentic team at their side1. • By 2028, IDC projects 1.3 billion agents in use-a scale that changes everything about how we work and how we secure2. • In the agentic era, security must be ambient and autonomous, just like the AI it protects.
