"2026 will mark the inflection point where the global economy transitions from "AI-assisted" to "AI-native." We won't just adopt new tools, we'll build a new economic reality: The AI Economy. Autonomous AI agents, entities with the ability to reason, act and remember, will define this new era. We'll delegate key tasks to these agents, from triaging alerts in the security operations center (SOC) to building financial models for corporate strategy."
"For leaders, a central question in 2026 will be how to govern and secure a new, multihybrid workforce where machines and agents already outnumber human employees by an 82 to 1 ratio. We've already witnessed the shift from a physical location to digital connection with the rise of remote work. Now, we confront the new, unsecured front door in every employee's browser."
Autonomous AI agents will define the AI Economy beginning in 2026, performing tasks from SOC alert triage to building corporate financial models. Machines and agents will outnumber human employees 82 to 1, creating a multihybrid workforce that requires new governance and security approaches. Insider threats can manifest as rogue agents capable of goal hijacking, tool misuse and privilege escalation at speeds beyond human intervention. Accelerating quantum capabilities threaten to retroactively compromise stored data. Security must transition from reactive defense to proactive, offensive strategies. Complete trustworthiness of data and identities is essential to transform security into an enabler of enterprise innovation.
