Arctic Wolf Networks, Friday, November 6th, 2026
Arctic Wolf CEO Nick Schneider expects AI-powered vulnerability exploitation to become the norm by 2027 and urges agentic defenses.
ChannelE2E, citing a CRN report, says Arctic Wolf CEO Nick Schneider used a podcast appearance to warn that AI-powered vulnerability exploitation is expected to become the norm by 2027.
Schneider pointed to threats such as the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities as showing clear links to AI, and said businesses need faster, agentic cybersecurity defenses.
Schneider also argued that agentic technology can make security operations more effective and affordable.
According to the report, channel partners are well placed to help organizations that previously lacked resources to close the security expertise gap.
