Agentic AI – Mirko Ross Warns: Only AI Can Keep Up With AI in Cyber Defense
On the program “Update Wirtschaft” on Tagesschau24, asvin CEO Mirko Ross spoke on April 8, 2026,about a new era of cyber threats – triggered by Agentic AI: autonomous AI systems capable of planning, testing, and adapting attacks in real time.
His key message: Speed is everything now.
In defending against AI-driven attacks, every second counts.
Companies and government agencies, Ross told Bettina Seidl, must radically accelerate their decision-making and response processes – and deploy AI themselves to keep up.
What does that look like in practice?
With intelligent, AI-powered monitoring, service providers and partner companies can be continuously observed. If someone starts drifting into the digital danger zone, action can be taken immediately – before any damage occurs.
