## AI overview

This article explains how autonomous AI agents are changing application security and cybersecurity. It contrasts them with traditional AI and SIEM-based workflows, describing adaptive threat analysis, multi-modal data processing, autonomous countermeasures, and integration with endpoint protection, network monitoring, and incident response. It also introduces the BDI model and notes that many organizations are still implementing and testing these systems.
