## AI overview

This article presents the Agentic OODA Loop as a model for human and AI security engineers to defend AI-native systems. Inspired by the fighter-pilot cycle of Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act, it advocates adaptive defense that gains real-time visibility, reasons about context, automates policy enforcement and remediation with human oversight, and continuously learns from alerts, false positives, and exploit attempts.
