## AI overview

AI-native applications require continuous, adaptive threat modeling because their large language models, autonomous agents, evolving data flows, and runtime-integrated tools create dynamic and unpredictable security risks. The article explains why traditional manual, static, point-in-time assessments become stale and fail to scale, and highlights new attack surfaces such as data poisoning, model inversion, and adversarial attacks.

## Source excerpt

AI-native applications demand a security approach as dynamic as they are. Traditional threat modeling is no longer enough. Discover the shift to continuous, adaptive threat modeling for AI security.
