After a whirlwind week at RSA Conference 2025, one theme stood out loud and clear: agentic AI is no longer theoretical — it’s here, and it’s evolving fast.
Across keynotes, vendor showcases, and hallway conversations, the industry made one thing clear: autonomous AI systems are transforming cybersecurity. These agentic models can now make decisions, execute multi-step processes, and operate with minimal human input. They're driving everything from real-time threat detection to automated red teaming. It’s an exciting time — but it also comes with serious implications.
Because as defenders get smarter with AI, so do attackers.
We're now seeing attackers leverage the same AI advancements to craft sophisticated, real-time phishing campaigns — particularly in the realm of conversational phishing. These attacks go far beyond the “urgent invoice” emails of the past. They’re adaptive, contextual, and powered by AI models that can simulate human dialogue with alarming accuracy.
This new generation of phishing doesn’t just land in your inbox — it engages you in a conversation. It builds trust. It plays the long game. And it’s incredibly hard for the average employee to spot.
As exciting as the possibilities of agentic AI are, RSA 2025 served as a reminder that the threat landscape is evolving just as quickly — and in parallel.
While at RSA, I also had the opportunity to attend an incredible event hosted by the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) and McKinsey & Company. The session brought together CISOs and board members for a timely conversation on the intersection of AI, cybersecurity leadership, and enterprise risk.
One quote from a CISO on the panel stuck with me:
“We must empower the front line.”
That single statement captured the urgency of this moment — and it perfectly reflects what we’re building at Jericho Security.
As AI-driven phishing becomes more human-like and less detectable by traditional tools, the burden of defense increasingly falls on real people. Your employees are now the first line of defense — and they need to be equipped for it.
At Jericho Security, we’re focused on a specific problem: how to prepare people for the next generation of social engineering attacks. Our AI-powered conversational phishing simulations train users through realistic, engaging scenarios that mirror the tactics attackers are actually using — not outdated email templates from five years ago.
We’re helping organizations shift from one-off awareness training to continuous behavioral resilience. Because the truth is, no matter how advanced your tech stack is, one well-placed message can still trigger a breach — if the person on the other end isn’t prepared.
At RSA 2025, Jericho Security was honored with four Cyber Defense Awards, recognizing our innovation and leadership in the fight against modern phishing threats:
These awards validate the work our team is doing to build smarter, more human-centered defenses in an increasingly AI-driven threat landscape.
Agentic AI is reshaping cybersecurity, but it’s also elevating the threat of human-targeted attacks. What RSA 2025 made crystal clear is this: defense isn’t just about better technology — it’s about smarter humans.
We’re proud to be part of that movement at Jericho Security. And after a week of hearing from the sharpest minds in the industry — from the show floor to the C-suite — we’re more confident than ever that the future of security starts at the front line.
