In September 2025, Anthropic's threat intelligence team detected something unprecedented. A Chinese state-sponsored hacking group, which the company designated GTG-1002, had manipulated Claude Code into attempting infiltration of roughly thirty global targets spanning major technology companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturers, and government agencies. The AI executed 80 to 90 per cent of the campaign autonomously, with human operators intervening at perhaps four to six critical decision points per intrusion. At peak operation, the system generated thousands of requests per second. This was attack velocity that human hackers could never match.
“This is believed to be the first documented case of a large-scale cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention,” Anthropic stated in its November 2025 disclosure. The attack successfully breached four organisations before detection.
The methodology itself was chilling in its sophistication. To convince Claude to engage in the attack, human operators claimed they were employees of legitimate cybersecurity firms and convinced the AI it was being used in defensive security testing. This “social engineering” of the AI model allowed the threat actor to fly under the radar long enough to launch their campaign. They jailbroke the system by breaking attacks into small, seemingly innocent tasks that the AI would execute without being provided the full context of their malicious purpose.
Welcome to the new mathematics of digital security, where the fundamental equation that has governed cybersecurity for decades is being rewritten in real time. The old formula was brutal but stable: defenders must succeed continuously whilst attackers need only breach once. Now, artificial intelligence is accelerating that asymmetry to a breaking point that may arrive faster than new safeguards can be deployed.
The Calculus of Continuous Defence
The cybersecurity profession has long operated under what military strategists call the “defender's dilemma.” Protecting a network means securing every potential entry point, patching every vulnerability, monitoring every anomaly, and responding correctly to every alert. An attacker, by contrast, needs only to find one weakness, exploit one mistake, or deceive one employee. This fundamental imbalance has shaped security architecture for decades.
What has changed is the speed at which this asymmetry now operates. According to research from Hadrian, autonomous AI threats are predicted to achieve full data exfiltration 100 times faster than human attackers by 2026, fundamentally rendering traditional incident response playbooks obsolete. The compression of attack timelines from days to hours to minutes means that the window for human intervention is closing rapidly.
“The internet's forgiveness is a function of attacker capacity, and AI is a capacity multiplier,” notes analysis from the security research community. “When autonomous agents can probe, validate, and exploit at machine speed, the gap between vulnerable and compromised collapses. Without a countervailing investment in AI-native defence, that asymmetry becomes the defining feature of the landscape.”
Consider the temporal dimension. Critical vulnerabilities currently take an average of four days to remediate, with some remaining open for more than four months. But exploitation now often begins in hours. The disparity between defensive response time and offensive action time has never been wider, and AI is accelerating the attacker's side of that equation whilst defenders struggle to keep pace.
This is not theoretical. XBOW, an autonomous penetration testing platform, reached the number one position on HackerOne's US leaderboard in June 2025 after submitting over 1,000 vulnerability reports in just months. The system operates 80 times faster than human security teams. In benchmark tests, it matched the performance of a 20-year veteran penetration tester across 104 security challenges, completing in 28 minutes what took the human 40 hours. At the same time that XBOW topped the ranking, the company announced completion of a $75 million Series B funding round, bringing total funding to $117 million, led by Altimeter with Sequoia Capital participating.
The implications extend far beyond competitive bug bounties. From April to June 2025 alone, XBOW identified 54 critical vulnerabilities, 242 high-severity flaws, and 524 medium-risk issues across software from major companies including Amazon, Disney, PayPal, and Sony. These same capabilities, repackaged for offensive purposes, represent a qualitative shift in threat potential. Security researchers warn that 2026 could see the first major breach caused entirely by an autonomous AI agent operating within a target's network, one that might self-propagate, adapt, and make decisions without direct hacker oversight.
The Democratisation of Sophisticated Intrusion
For decades, the cybercrime ecosystem operated under constraints similar to legitimate enterprise: sophisticated attacks required elite talent, and elite talent was scarce. Nation-state operations could deploy zero-day exploits because they could recruit or coerce the requisite expertise. Criminal groups with similar budgets could do the same. But the barrier to entry kept most malicious actors limited to commodity attacks.
That economic barrier is dissolving. The substantive development in 2025 is that less experienced and resourced groups can now potentially perform operations that previously required deeper technical expertise. This democratisation of capability, not the creation of novel attack methods, represents the true shift in the threat landscape.
According to XBOW's threat analysis, AI has accelerated every aspect of vulnerability discovery. Automated fuzzing, exploit identification, and proof-of-concept generation have shortened what once required months of expert work into hours of automated processing. Vulnerabilities that previously demanded deep technical knowledge can now be discovered and weaponised by actors with minimal expertise. Studies like CVE-Bench from March 2025 show large language model agents achieving 13 per cent success on zero-day vulnerabilities and 25 per cent on one-day vulnerabilities in simulated environments.
The statistics tell this story with uncomfortable clarity. VulnCheck analysts found that vulnerabilities exploited before public disclosure rose from 23.6 per cent in 2024 to nearly 30 per cent in 2025. For edge devices like VPNs and firewalls, the median time to exploitation was zero days. There was an 8.5 per cent increase in the percentage of known exploited vulnerabilities that had exploitation evidence disclosed on or before the day a CVE was published. Security teams once measured the gap between a vulnerability's disclosure and its weaponisation in days. Today, that window has collapsed to mere hours.
Tools originally designed for legitimate security testing are being repurposed. Hexstrike-AI, a penetration testing framework with over 150 AI agents, can exploit flaws in systems like Citrix NetScaler appliances in under 10 minutes, chaining vulnerabilities that would take human teams days to coordinate. When such capabilities proliferate beyond controlled environments, the expertise barrier that once constrained amateur attackers effectively vanishes.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity's Threat Landscape 2025 report describes this shift as the year when AI “fundamentally reshaped the cyber threat landscape.” Tools such as WormGPT, EscapeGPT, and FraudGPT now automate convincing phishing lures at scale, dramatically increasing campaign volume and success rates. By early 2025, AI-supported phishing campaigns represented more than 80 per cent of observed social engineering activity worldwide.
Speed Against Scale: The Offensive Advantage
The asymmetry between attack and defence has always favoured offence in terms of initiative. Defenders react; attackers choose when, where, and how to strike. AI magnifies this advantage by removing the constraints that previously limited attack speed and scale.
Consider the economics of phishing. Research indicates that AI-generated phishing campaigns achieve a 60 per cent success rate against human targets, with 54 per cent of recipients clicking malicious links. This represents nearly four times the success rate of traditional campaigns. By March 2025, AI was 24 per cent more effective than humans at crafting phishing attacks. Research from Hoxhunt demonstrated that AI agents can now out-phish elite human red teams at scale, with AI's performance versus humans improving by 55 per cent from 2023 to 2025. More significantly, AI phishing costs 95 per cent less to execute, with large language models automating entire campaign processes from target research to payload delivery.
The human factor remains the critical vulnerability. An estimated 68 to 74 per cent of breaches in 2025 involved some human error, stolen credentials, or social engineering. In simulated phishing tests, about 33 per cent of untrained users still click on malicious links. More than 86 per cent of organisations have already encountered at least one AI-related phishing or social engineering incident.
The financial sector alone lost $28.6 billion globally in 2025 to AI-enhanced fraud and data breaches, according to industry analysis. The average cost of an AI-powered data breach reached $5.72 million, a 13 per cent increase over the previous year. Total ransomware-related costs are predicted to total $57 billion in 2025, with companies facing an average total cost of $5.08 million per ransomware breach. These figures reflect attacks that succeeded despite existing defences.
Nick Mo, CEO of Ridge Security Technology, predicted that 2026 would see a widening gap between attacker agility and defender constraints. “Attackers will harness AI as a force multiplier long before defenders do,” Mo argued. “Scrappy resourcefulness, clear financial incentives, and freedom from procurement cycles guarantee it.”
This observation touches on a structural asymmetry beyond technical capability. Attackers face no compliance requirements, no procurement delays, no internal approval processes. They can adopt new tools immediately upon availability. Defenders, by contrast, must vet any technology before deployment, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage the organisational risk of defensive systems themselves causing problems. If security automation malfunctions in a production environment, people lose their jobs. Attackers face no such constraints.
The Threshold Question: Defining Collapse
Security researchers and policy analysts increasingly debate whether we are approaching a threshold moment where defensive advantages collapse faster than new safeguards can be deployed. The question is not merely academic. If such a threshold exists, crossing it would fundamentally alter the risk calculus for every organisation operating digital infrastructure.
The concept of a defensive collapse threshold involves several interconnected factors: the speed at which attackers can discover and exploit vulnerabilities; the capacity of defensive systems to detect and respond to intrusions; the availability of skilled personnel to interpret alerts and coordinate responses; and the institutional ability to deploy patches and updates faster than attackers can weaponise known flaws.
On every metric, the trends favour offence. Zero-day exploits surged 46 per cent in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Over 23,583 CVEs were published, averaging 130 per day. Of these, 132 were added to the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue, an 80 per cent year-over-year increase. More than half of exploitation activity in the first half of 2025 was attributed to state-sponsored threat actors, with government-backed groups weaponising new CVEs within days of disclosure. During that period, 181 CVEs added to the database were attributed to 92 known threat actors. China had 20 active threat groups, Russia had 11, North Korea had 9, and Iran had 6.
The ENISA Threat Landscape 2025 identified phishing as the leading vector for initial intrusion, accounting for approximately 60 per cent of observed cases. Vulnerability exploitation remained the second major pathway at 21.3 per cent. DDoS attacks were the dominant incident type, accounting for 77 per cent of reported incidents. Hacktivist groups accounted for nearly 80 per cent of all recorded incidents, mostly through low-level distributed denial of service attacks. The speed with which weaknesses are exploited has accelerated dramatically, with widespread campaigns weaponising vulnerabilities within days of disclosure.
What would a defensive collapse look like operationally? Security analysts describe a “chaos phase” expected over the next 24 months, during which autonomous and semi-autonomous adversaries move faster than most defenders, driving an unprecedented spike in successful intrusions and breach impact. During this period, organisations relying on traditional security architectures face systematic exposure.
Critical Infrastructure at the Breaking Point
The stakes extend beyond commercial data breaches. Critical infrastructure systems present particularly concerning targets because they often rely on operational technology designed before modern cybersecurity threats existed, and because successful attacks can produce physical consequences affecting public safety.
In 2025, Ukraine experienced multiple cyberattacks disrupting power distribution, highlighting the vulnerability of energy infrastructure in conflict zones. The April 2025 power blackouts affecting Spain, Portugal, and parts of Eastern Europe raised suspicions of coordinated cyberattack, though investigations continue. The blackout affected several countries simultaneously, raising questions about whether this represented a system glitch or something more concerning.
The water sector faces similar exposure. In October 2024, American Water, the largest regulated water utility in the United States, detected a cyberattack forcing disconnection of customer portals and billing systems as a precautionary measure. Pro-Russia hacktivist groups have successfully targeted supervisory control and data acquisition networks in water and wastewater systems using basic methods, according to CISA advisories. These organisations face threats from nation-state actors aiming to disrupt essential services, whether through tampering with electricity grids or contaminating water treatment systems.
Data from a 2025 Trustwave report revealed that ransomware attacks have surged 80 per cent year over year in the energy and utilities sector, with 84 per cent of incidents starting via phishing and 96 per cent involving remote service exploitation. By mid-2025, 54 per cent of all healthcare organisations had reported ransomware attacks, a significant rise from previous years. The consequences of successful attacks on power grids or water treatment facilities extend far beyond financial loss.
The expansion of Internet of Things devices compounds this exposure. Approximately 18 billion IoT devices currently operate worldwide, with forecasts projecting growth to 40 billion by 2030. Each connected device represents a potential entry point, and many were designed without security as a primary consideration.
Fifteen years after Stuxnet demonstrated the destructive potential of cyberattacks on industrial control systems, the United States remains inadequately prepared for a concerted attack on critical infrastructure. Operational technology networks running power grids, water treatment plants, and other essential services remain insufficiently protected, according to Congressional testimony and industry assessments.
The Workforce Equation
The human element adds another dimension to the asymmetry problem. The global cybersecurity workforce gap has reached 4.8 million unfilled positions, representing a 19 per cent year-over-year increase according to the ISC2 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study. The active workforce has grown to 5.5 million professionals, but this represents effectively flat growth of just 0.1 per cent since 2023. In the space of two years, the workforce gap has shot up by more than 40 per cent. The cybersecurity workforce needs to increase by 87 per cent to satisfy current demand.
The shortage has shifted from a headcount problem to a skills problem. According to the 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Research Report, 52 per cent of cybersecurity leaders identify the real issue as lacking people with the right skills rather than lacking people altogether. AI-related skills remain among the most critical gaps, with 41 per cent of respondents citing AI expertise as essential, followed by cloud security at 36 per cent.
Nearly 90 per cent of organisations surveyed experienced at least one significant cybersecurity event attributed to skills shortages, with 69 per cent reporting more than one incident. The average cost of a data breach has reached $4.88 million, and 74 per cent of security professionals describe the current threat landscape as the most challenging in five years.
Economic pressures compound the problem. For the first time, budget cuts have overtaken other factors as a primary cause of the workforce gap. Among large organisations, 32 per cent reported layoffs in security functions, 46 per cent experienced budget cuts, 49 per cent faced hiring freezes, and 41 per cent saw promotion freezes. Budget limitations remain a key driver, with 33 per cent of respondents stating their organisations do not have enough resources to adequately staff teams, and 29 per cent saying they cannot afford to hire staff with the skills they need.
This creates a structural disadvantage. Attackers can recruit talent globally without geographic or regulatory constraints. They can offer competitive compensation funded by criminal proceeds. They face no background check requirements or employment verification. Defenders, operating within legitimate organisations, must compete for the same talent pool whilst adhering to employment law, salary bands, and institutional processes.
State Actors and the Escalation Dynamic
The involvement of nation-state actors introduces geopolitical complexity to the cybersecurity equation. Google's Threat Intelligence Group has observed over 57 distinct threat actors with ties to China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia using AI technology to enable malicious cyber and information operations. The group noted that “threat actors are experimenting with Gemini to enable their operations, finding productivity gains but not yet developing novel capabilities.”
Chinese state-sponsored actors demonstrate particular sophistication. According to Google Cloud's 2025 cybersecurity forecast, institutional investments China has made in cyber operations over the past decade continue to fuel both volume and capability development. This includes pre-positioning campaigns targeting internet-exposed attack surfaces such as end-of-life devices, compromising operational relay box networks, and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities. APT41, a prominent PRC-backed group, was observed throughout August 2025 utilising AI tools for assistance with code development.
Iranian APT actors represent what Google described as the “heaviest users” of AI tools among observed state groups, with APT42 accounting for more than 30 per cent of such usage. The group leverages AI for crafting phishing campaigns, conducting reconnaissance on defence experts and organisations, and generating content with cybersecurity themes.
Russian threat actors maintain direct focus on Ukrainian military infrastructure, targeting GPS systems and mobile devices. APT44 has demonstrated capability to extract data from deceased Ukrainian soldiers' phones whilst devices remain connected.
North Korean hacking groups have developed a distinctive strategy: attempting to get recruited as IT workers by Western organisations, particularly technology companies. According to Mandiant's observations, approximately half of major technology companies have experienced such recruitment attempts.
The underground marketplace for illicit AI tools has matured considerably. Multiple offerings now support phishing, malware development, and vulnerability research, lowering the barrier to entry for less sophisticated actors. This proliferation is not a US-centric phenomenon. Tech firms and research groups globally are developing powerful models with significant cyber capabilities, from China's Kimi and Qwen to Russia's YandexGPT, Sberbank's GigaChat, and T-Bank's models. This trend is compounded by the explosion of powerful open-source models that anyone can download and run without restriction.
The Defensive Response
Not all analysis supports inevitable defensive collapse. Some security experts see AI as an equalising force that could tip the balance back toward defenders.
Palo Alto Networks designated 2026 as potentially “The Year of the Defender,” predicting that AI-driven defences would finally reach maturity. Nicole Reineke, a senior product leader for AI at N-able, argued that “defenders can see the whole board. Unlike attackers, who often operate alone with limited creativity, security vendors can aggregate patterns across thousands of attempted intrusions.”
The defensive advantage, such as it exists, lies in visibility and coordination. Security vendors processing alerts across multiple clients can identify attack patterns that individual targets would miss. AI systems trained on vast datasets of malicious behaviour can recognise threats faster than human analysts. Automation can reduce response times from weeks to minutes.
Deep Instinct's survey found that more than 80 per cent of major companies already use AI to strengthen cyber defences. In one documented case, automation helped a major transportation manufacturing company reduce attack response time from three weeks to 19 minutes. Such improvements demonstrate that defensive AI can deliver meaningful operational benefits. The global AI cybersecurity market is expected to reach $39.8 billion in 2025, with the value increasing to $50.8 billion by 2026, highlighting continued industry investment.
Bruce Schneier, the renowned security technologist, has offered cautiously optimistic analysis. He noted that in the short term, defenders might benefit most from AI adoption. “We're already being attacked at computer speeds,” Schneier observed. “The ability to defend at computer speeds will be very valid.” However, he acknowledges uncertainty about longer-term dynamics, suggesting that the balance might shift toward attackers over the next five to ten years. There's a looming AI attack-defence arms race in terms of identifying and exploiting software vulnerabilities versus identifying and patching them. Given the asymmetric nature of cybercrime and the relatively longer timeframes it takes for corporations and governments to react to new forms of attack, the balance seems likely to shift in favour of attackers through that period.
The challenge lies in deployment speed. Attackers can adopt new tools immediately. Defenders must validate, test, integrate, and train. This pace differential exacerbates the offence-defence asymmetry even when underlying capabilities are comparable.
The Emerging Threat Landscape
Security researchers warn of emerging threat categories that may define the next phase of AI-enabled attacks. The concept of adaptive persistent threats describes malware that evolves based on defensive measures, learning from each defensive action to identify weaknesses.
Self-learning and self-preservation-aware agentic cyber worms represent a particularly concerning development predicted for 2026. Such malware would not merely morph to avoid detection but completely change tactics based on the cyber defences encountered. Research has identified early signs of malware using AI logic to dynamically alter behaviour mid-execution. For the first time in 2025, Google's threat intelligence team discovered a code family that employed AI capabilities mid-execution to dynamically alter the malware's behaviour.
Data poisoning represents another frontier. By invisibly corrupting data used to train AI models operating on cloud-native infrastructure, attackers could compromise defensive systems at their foundation. Such attacks would be difficult to detect and potentially affect multiple downstream systems simultaneously.
Swarm attack coordination presents a different threat vector. AI systems could overwhelm defensive systems through coordinated actions that adapt in real time to defensive responses. The evolution toward autonomous cyber warfare describes AI-versus-AI combat with fully automated attack and defence systems operating at machine speed without human intervention. Insider threats can now take the form of a rogue AI agent, capable of goal hijacking, tool misuse, and privilege escalation at speeds that defy human intervention.
Risk Thresholds and Policy Responses
Industry, government, and civil society actors have begun articulating risk thresholds for advanced AI systems, attempting to signal when models meaningfully amplify cyber threats. According to academic research published in January 2026, current approaches to determining these thresholds remain fragmented and limited. Industry thresholds typically lack grounding in specific threat models, whilst government thresholds are vague or high-level.
CISA has developed a Roadmap for AI as a whole-of-agency plan aligned with national strategy to promote beneficial AI uses whilst protecting systems from AI-based threats. In May 2025, CISA released guidance for AI system operators regarding data security risks, developed in conjunction with the NSA, FBI, and cyber agencies from Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. The guidance outlines cybersecurity best practices for AI systems, then provides additional detail on three separate risk categories: data supply chain risks, maliciously modified data, and data drift.
The European Union has responded with regulatory frameworks. The Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory security requirements for digital products and services, aimed at reducing systemic vulnerabilities by embedding security-by-design practices. The Cyber Solidarity Act strengthens collective defence through improved cross-border incident response mechanisms and coordinated sharing of threat intelligence. The updated Cybersecurity Blueprint creates structured escalation paths for large-scale incidents.
These frameworks represent necessary but potentially insufficient responses. The speed of AI capability development may outpace regulatory adaptation. By the time policies are formulated, debated, and implemented, the threat landscape may have evolved beyond their original scope.
Operational Realities of a Transition Period
If we are approaching or crossing a defensive collapse threshold, what should organisations expect operationally? Security analysts describe several likely characteristics of this transition period.
First, expect compression of incident timelines. The gap between initial compromise and full impact will shrink from days to hours. Traditional incident response procedures requiring human escalation, analysis, and decision-making will prove too slow for emerging threats. Organisations without automated detection and response capabilities will face systematic disadvantage.
Second, expect exploitation of the skills gap. With 4.8 million unfilled cybersecurity positions globally, many organisations simply lack the personnel to respond effectively to sophisticated attacks. Automated threats will target organisations with the weakest human defences, identifying and exploiting gaps in monitoring and response capabilities.
Third, expect supply chain attacks to proliferate. Rather than attacking hardened targets directly, adversaries will compromise trusted software and service providers. The SolarWinds incident demonstrated this approach in 2020; AI capabilities make such attacks easier to execute and harder to detect.
Fourth, expect increased targeting of critical infrastructure. The potential for physical consequences makes these targets attractive for nation-state actors seeking coercive leverage. Operational technology systems designed before modern cybersecurity threats emerged present particularly vulnerable attack surfaces.
Fifth, expect the line between criminal and state-sponsored activity to blur further. Nation-states may increasingly use criminal groups as proxies, providing tools and protection in exchange for plausible deniability. Criminal groups may adopt nation-state techniques, making attribution increasingly difficult.
The Strategic Imperative
The cybersecurity community faces a strategic choice. One path leads toward attempting to maintain traditional defensive postures, patching vulnerabilities, monitoring networks, and responding to incidents as they occur. This approach assumes that incremental improvements to existing methods can keep pace with accelerating threats.
The alternative path recognises that the fundamental equation has changed and requires new approaches. This might include shifting focus from prevention to resilience, assuming that breaches will occur and designing systems to limit damage and enable rapid recovery. It might involve deploying AI defences that operate at machine speed, removing human reaction time from the critical path. It might require unprecedented information sharing between organisations, accepting some loss of competitive advantage in exchange for collective security benefit.
The research consensus suggests that winning must move from prevention to resilience and real-time disruption. This involves putting intelligent reasoning behind automated responses such as terminating compromised cloud instances and dynamically revoking service account permissions.
MIT Sloan analysis emphasises that AI-powered cybersecurity tools alone will not suffice. A proactive, multi-layered approach integrating human oversight, governance frameworks, AI-driven threat simulations, and real-time intelligence sharing is critical. The defensive response must be as systemic as the threat it addresses.
Beyond the Threshold
Whether we have already crossed a defensive collapse threshold or are merely approaching one remains contested among experts. What seems clear is that the cybersecurity landscape of 2026 and beyond will operate under fundamentally different conditions than the decades that preceded it.
The democratisation of sophisticated attack capabilities, the acceleration of exploitation timelines, the workforce constraints facing defenders, and the structural advantages enjoyed by attackers combine to create an environment where traditional approaches prove increasingly inadequate. AI amplifies each of these factors whilst introducing new threat categories that may not yet be fully understood.
For organisations operating digital infrastructure, the implication is that cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a technical problem addressed through periodic investments in tools and training. It becomes a continuous strategic challenge requiring executive attention, board oversight, and integration into fundamental business planning.
For policymakers, the challenge lies in developing regulatory frameworks that can adapt to rapidly evolving threats whilst avoiding requirements that constrain beneficial innovation. International coordination becomes essential when attackers operate across borders and attribution proves difficult.
For the security community, the challenge is to develop and deploy defensive capabilities that can match or exceed offensive developments. This may require unprecedented collaboration between competitors, sharing threat intelligence and defensive techniques for collective benefit.
The mathematics of cybersecurity asymmetry have always favoured attackers. AI is accelerating that advantage to speeds that may exceed defensive capacity to adapt. Whether this represents a threshold moment or merely an intensification of existing trends, the operational consequences are already becoming visible in breach statistics, infrastructure attacks, and the sophistication of threats facing every connected organisation.
The collapse equation is being recalculated in real time. The question is whether defenders can solve it before the variables move irreversibly against them.
