    I explain why relying on phishing training is obsolete. Agentic AI isn't just sending smarter emails: it’s an autonomous, self-correcting threat that weaponises human trust at machine speed. My GRC work shows how these agents systematically bypass third-party controls and achieve military-grade coordination across IT and OT, demanding an urgent and autonomous shift in our defence and governance models.
