At its annual customer and partner conference, Knowledge 2025, ServiceNow , the AI platform driving business transformation, unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in enterprise security and risk: autonomous AI agents purpose-built to usher in a new era of self-defending enterprises. Integrated into ServiceNow’s trusted Security and Risk solutions, these agents are designed to enhance consistency, uncover critical insights, and dramatically cut response times.
Through strategic collaborations with Microsoft and Cisco, alongside expanded compliance and security capabilities, ServiceNow is leading the shift from traditional, reactive defenses toward intelligent, autonomous resilience. These innovations aim to equip organizations with powerful, ethical, and efficient AI-driven solutions to better protect against today’s evolving digital threats.
In today’s threat landscape, many security issues are only detected after they’ve caused harm, and compliance shortcomings often surface too late-typically during audits. Meanwhile, security teams are overwhelmed with alert fatigue and repetitive manual tasks, making it harder to identify and mitigate critical vulnerabilities in real-time.
