IBM has announced new cybersecurity measures designed to help organizations counter a new generation of cyber threats as attackers begin weaponizing frontier AI models.
Attackers are already using frontier AI models to accelerate every phase of the attack lifecycle. These models represent a step change in offensive capability, which can dramatically lower the time, cost, and expertise required to carry out sophisticated attacks and push organizations toward continuous business disruption. As attacks move at machine speed, security programs built on fragmented tools and manual processes are increasingly outmatched. Defending against agentic adversaries will require security programs that are autonomous and coordinated at scale.

Enterprise Cybersecurity Assessments for Frontier Model Threats
Enterprises operate sprawling, complex IT estates that are hard to codify, creating ideal conditions for frontier models to identify weaknesses and rapidly turn them into attack paths. To address this challenge, IBM Consulting is offering a new cybersecurity assessment to help enterprises evaluate their readiness for agentic enabled threats. The assessment will be delivered by IBM together with its technology partners to help customers get the support they need across their environments.
The assessment provides deep visibility into security gaps, policy weaknesses, AI‑specific exposures, and potential exploit paths. It also delivers prioritized mitigation guidance, including interim safeguards where no immediate software fix exists. In addition, the assessment highlights opportunities for enterprises to accelerate their detection and response through improved automation and architectural alignment.
