Artificial intelligence (AI) has already revolutionized cybersecurity by streamlining threat detection, accelerating response times, and relieving overburdened analysts. But according to leading researchers, that first wave of AI-enabled change was only the beginning. The next wave won’t just make cybersecurity faster or more efficient but will redefine the entire industry: what we value, how we price protection, and even which core offerings will survive in a world of autonomous defenses.
In this new whitepaper, AI Shockwaves in Cybersecurity: A Post-Productivity Era Transformation, Converged Security Solutions COO Gregory A. Garrett and leading cybersecurity researcher Dr. Brian McElyea explore how agentic AI systems are driving a deeper transformation across federal and commercial cybersecurity sectors. Drawing on recent Gartner, McKinsey, and OWASP insights, they outline how AI will soon shift security from reactive incident response to proactive, autonomous resilience and what CISOs, system integrators, and managed security providers must do to prepare.
The paper examines how:
-
Autonomous AI agents could create self-healing, adaptive defense ecosystems by 2035
-
Traditional pricing models will give way to outcome-based approaches as automation reduces delivery costs
-
Legacy security products may become obsolete in favor of AI-managed “security-as-a-service”
-
Governance and human oversight will remain critical to maintaining trust in machine-driven decisions
