THE Hacker News explains that the AI arms race is accelerating not just in volume of threats but in speed, with threat actors using AI to automate the entire kill chain and chain attack paths more quickly than ever before. In response, unified exposure management is presented as a boardroom priority, with PlexTrac described as a platform that unifies exposure management, remediation, and validation to bridge the gap between discovery and action.
According to PlexTrac, the system ingests data from cloud misconfigurations, identity risks, application flaws, and more to provide a dynamic, risk-focused view that helps teams cut through noise, visualise attack paths, and shift from reactive to proactive defence. The article also highlights two capabilities—Autonomous Exposure Assessment and Continuous Threat Assessment powered by Agentic AI—arguing that autonomous pentesting and real-time adaptation are essential to keep pace with AI-enabled attackers.
It notes that agentic systems can plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks, emulate adversary behaviours, and validate whether defensive tools are effectively detecting threats. Published on 31 March 2026, the piece concludes that organisations must fight AI with AI to achieve provable, continuous posture assurance.
