Autonomous Attacks Are Already Here. The Defense Has to Match Their Speed.
Blog post from Snyk
Snyk CTO Manoj Nair and Anthropic’s Alon Krifcher discussed how AI-enabled, autonomous attacks may reduce defenders’ response time, citing Snyk observations that new enterprise security findings are growing more than twice quarter over quarter and CrowdStrike data reporting a 27-second fastest breakout time. Nair argued that organizations should operate discovery, remediation, validation, and prevention simultaneously, prioritizing high-impact applications and testing them against realistic chained-vulnerability attack paths rather than simply retriaging backlogs. He highlighted Snyk products including Evo Continuous Offensive Security, remediation agents using Claude, and Snyk Studio, which provides security context to coding agents during development, while noting that AI-model safety guardrails do not address risks from credentials, configurations, packages, and other agentic components. Nair recommended tracking the ratio of new findings to resolved findings, along with the share of automated proposed fixes that merge without human rewriting, as measures of whether security programs are reducing risk rather than accumulating unresolved issues.
