AI is in your engineering workflow. While the token spend shows it, the throughput doesn't. The human is very much still in the loop, and that's a context problem.

Trusted Devices Can Still Be Compromised

A laptop managed by IT and protected by endpoint software is not automatically safe. Once attackers gain control of a trusted device, they inherit existing trust relationships instantly.

Device Trust Often Lasts Too Long

Many organizations validate devices once and assume they remain secure indefinitely. Attackers exploit that static trust model.

Compromised Endpoints Bypass Traditional Defenses

When malicious activity originates from a trusted device using valid credentials, network perimeter controls become far less effective.

Remote Work Expanded Endpoint Exposure

Home networks, public Wi-Fi, unmanaged peripherals, and BYOD environments increased the number of external variables surrounding corporate devices.

Compliance Does Not Equal Security

A device can appear compliant — updated antivirus, encrypted storage, approved configuration — while still running malicious scripts or leaking sensitive data.

Trust Must Be Continuously Revalidated

Monitor endpoint behavior dynamically, enforce conditional access, isolate suspicious devices quickly, and reassess trust continuously. In modern cybersecurity, device trust should never be permanent.
