OpenAI president Greg Brockman warned enterprise CISOs to aggressively embrace agents in a blog post to survive upcoming cyberattacks. Brockman argued that company systems have significant flaws, and defenders need to find and fix them before attackers do. He also mentioned that the Hugging Face incident showed that AI models underestimated real-world cyber capabilities.
While his advice on defensive best practices was routine, Brockman emphasized the importance of agentic systems, recommending OpenAI's Codex Security plugin.

They also pointed out the industry-wide issue of AI vendors focusing on profit and market share rather than true system safety.
