<p>Experts stress that the <strong>integration of AI</strong> in Web3 can enhance automation but poses new risks. The need for <strong>ongoing vigilance</strong> and robust security measures is crucial as these technologies <strong>mediate high-value transactions</strong> in decentralized finance.</p>
<blockquote>
 Erez Tadmor, Field CTO, Tufin, explains that "Agentic AI is starting to reshape the cybersecurity landscape by acting less like a tool and more like a teammate. These systems don’t just follow predefined scripts; they understand intent, interpret context, and take goal-driven actions. That shift is proving critical in cybersecurity, where speed, accuracy, and alignment with policy can’t be compromised. In 2025, we’re seeing these agents embedded directly into security workflows, reducing response times, removing human bottlenecks, and helping teams make smarter decisions under pressure."
