AI used to help plan the break-in, now it’s doing the break-in
Check Point's 2026 AI Security Report documents intrusions where AI systems executed exploitation workflows autonomously, generating thousands of commands across dozens of sessions with minimal human oversight. Attackers accomplished this by obtaining capable AI models and removing safety controls, orchestrating AI across multiple stages of the attack chain without intervention.
Why it matters: Security teams must prepare for attacks where AI autonomously conducts intrusion activities at scale; this represents a shift from AI as a planning tool to AI as an active attacker, requiring detection and response strategies focused on high-volume, low-supervision attack patterns.

AI used to help plan the break-in, now it’s doing the break-in
Researchers documented over the past year that intrusion campaigns employed artificial intelligence (AI) to autonomously generate thousands of commands across dozens of sessions with little human oversight, according to Check Point’s AI Security Report 2026. Attackers achieve this by acquiring capable models and stripping their safety controls, allowing the AI to drive multiple stages of the attack chain without intervention.
Why it matters: Security operations teams face increased risk of autonomous AI-driven attacks that can scale unchecked, so they should verify model safety controls and monitor for anomalous AI-generated command activity.
