According to Malwarebytes' 2025 State of Malware report, agentic AI systems are projected to transform cyber crime by enabling more sophisticated ransomware attacks. While the initial impact of generative AI on cyber crime has been limited, there is concern that future advancements will empower malicious AI agents to efficiently strategize attacks. This includes potentially compromising multiple targets simultaneously and automating the search for vulnerabilities. However, agentic AI could also help address cybersecurity skill shortages, providing imperative support to security teams as they manage growing threats.
Agentic AI systems will revolutionize cyber crime, with businesses needing to prepare for AI-powered ransomware attacks as their capabilities increase in 2025.
