Cyber Shield: The path to an agentic AI future for cyber defence

The UK's GCHQ has unveiled 'Cyber Shield,' a blueprint for a national cyber defence capability integrating agentic AI. This initiative aims to counter escalating cyber threats by enabling machine-speed identification, reduction, and resolution of national cyber risks. Cyber Shield will foster collaboration across sectors to develop and deploy AI-powered defensive agents, enhancing the UK's resilience against both current and future sophisticated attacks.
