Understand how agentic AI leads to faster responses, smarter security, and safer environments.
If you had to guess, how long would you say the average person can pay attention to a single screen that’s not particularly stimulating? Five minutes? Ten?
Forty-seven seconds.
The average human’s attention span focuses on one screen for less than a minute before paying attention to something else. That paltry number is down from the 2 ½ minutes of 20 years ago.
Now take that information in the context of a person staring at real-time surveillance footage of your property, trying to watch for any issues or bad actors. There’s not a very good chance they’ll be paying enough attention to catch much of anything.
Attention spans weren’t built to have us staring at the same, mostly uneventful thing all day. It’s simply not possible to stay focused in that way—unless, of course, you’re a literal robot.
The recent surge in artificial intelligence has produced many forms of AI: generative AI for content creation, predictive AI for advanced forecasting capabilities, computer vision for visual analysis—the list goes on. But there’s one form of artificial intelligence in particular that is changing the game for security operations: agentic AI.
Agentic AI refers to autonomous AI agents that are able to learn, adapt, and react to situations in real time. Unlike a person, agentic AI doesn’t get bored, doesn’t lose focus, and can track a virtually unlimited number of screens simultaneously.
While agentic AI certainly doesn’t eliminate the need for human personnel involved in security operations, the addition of agentic AI brings several key advantages to the table, making your security faster, smarter, and safer.
Agentic AI combines several advancements in artificial intelligence to create a technology capable of complex reasoning and autonomous defensive action in real time. It leverages machine learning to analyze vast amounts of data, behavioral analytics to monitor user behavior, and anomaly detection to recognize unusual or suspicious patterns.
Using reinforcement learning as an effective training tool, agentic AI has the capability to advance in leaps and bounds with its ability to keep your company secure on several fronts.
Ways to incorporate agentic AI in your security operations include (but are certainly not limited to):
Since it is able to watch, reason, and act autonomously, agentic AI creates exponentially faster response times. While people can still receive alerts and updates on security activity, since there’s no waiting on human verification of the threat, there’s no delay in the response time.
Agentic AI is able to identify unusual or suspicious activity and determine—and implement—the appropriate response measure immediately.
With features like tailored loudspeaker messages (such as “You in the blue shirt doing [this bad thing]: that is not authorized activity here”) or focused spotlights that track the perpetrator in action, agentic AI can actively deter and mitigate physical threats.
On the cyber side of the equation, agentic AI proactively searches for security threats and builds custom defenses against them, adapting in real time.
Complex reasoning in AI-driven automation is a game changer. Before, AI was mostly used to fulfill specific directives such as answering specific prompts, looking for threats that met certain parameters, etc. Now, agentic AI is able to analyze a situation, determine if there are any issues, and implement the appropriate responses as needed.
Security officers inundated with alerts can now rely on agentic AI capabilities to verify those alerts, take on repetitive tasks, and augment analysis and decision-making. This addition to the security team not only improves accuracy and efficiency, but also frees up personnel to focus on more complex investigations and any in-person issues.
Agentic AI’s ability to recognize and adapt to constantly changing threats allows for the ultimate proactive approach, which leads to our final—and most important—benefit: increased safety.
The quick, intelligent response offered by agentic AI can seriously improve the safety and security of your company and your people on all levels.
While agentic AI on its own isn’t enough to secure a business, it is a game-changing addition to security operations. Agentic AI’s ability to compile and analyze data from multiple sources enhances situational awareness, allowing for a safer and more comprehensive response across the board.
