Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

The enterprise security world is having two separate conversations that desperately need to collide. On one side, application security (AppSec) teams are scrambling to secure APIs – the connective tissue of every modern application. On the other, a new wave of “AI security” vendors promise to protect your LLMs from prompt injection, data leakage, and hallucinations. Both groups are solving real problems. Both are missing half the picture.

Network security is operationally complex. It involves constant triage, approvals, and monitoring, spread across a range of tools, teams, and environments. Traditionally, this requires teams to do a significant amount of time-consuming, repetitive, and draining manual work, resulting in a longer MTTR and leaving many practitioners overwhelmed and burnt out. The problem isn’t in the tools they use – it’s in the work that happens between tools.

In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue, the first AI agent, made history by defeating Garry Kasparov at chess. Since then, AI agents have advanced dramatically, evolving from single‑task systems to agents like OpenAI’s Operator, which can autonomously fill out forms, place orders, and schedule appointments. WordPress is a popular CMS that powers more than 20% of the top one million websites. Bringing AI agents into WordPress opens up new possibilities, making sites more capable and adaptive.

WordPress sites are adopting AI faster than any other web technology category, and the impact is already visible. Over 61% of WordPress site owners now use at least one AI tool for content creation or marketing. WordPress teams are using that access to write content, automate workflows, run chatbots, and process customer data at a scale that was simply not possible before. But as AI adoption grows, so does the risk.

See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo John White is the Field CISO for EMEA at Torq. A respected security executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience, John previously served as CISO at Virgin Atlantic, where he led a multi-year transformation deploying the Torq AI SOC Platform to modernize cyber operations.

In the last couple of years, accelerated AI adoption has created some terrific opportunities for enterprises, allowing them to reshape everything from business models to customer engagement and decision-making. Yet, this also brings up various critical governance challenges. While 52% of organizations have (fully/partially) deployed GenAI, nearly 8 in 10 haven’t reached full AI maturity in cybersecurity, according to a recent Ponemon Institute study in partnership with OpenText.
