Agentic Cybersecurity Incentives Favor Offense

Ben Thompson, writing for Stratechery, argued that incentives around autonomy and innovation give the advantage to offensive measures in agentic cybersecurity. According to the post, this same pattern will constrain established companies while supporting new startups in the longer term. The claim was issued directly from the Stratechery account on the platform and echoed in a retweet by Thompson. The accompanying link points to an article on the topic, though the public posts contain only the core assertion without additional evidence or counterpoints.
