š„ What happened
Google is using AI agents to attack its own systems. Daniel Fabian has led the company's Red Teams since 2015 and goes by the internal nickname "Principal Digital Arsonist."
š” Why it matters
LLMs can now find and exploit vulnerabilities semi-autonomously. That means the attack surface grows faster than any manual pentest team can keep up with.
ā” Our take
Hacking yourself with AI beats waiting for attackers ā but only if the agents don't become the vulnerability. That's where Google's edge gets decided.
