Traditional security models focusing on infrastructure are now obsolete as autonomous AI agents have shifted the primary risk to the prompt and agentic layer. The article argues for a new category, AI-native application protection (AINAPP), to govern the agentic lifecycle from prompt to runtime.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The security battleground has moved from infrastructure to the prompt, creating a new product category. If you sell security, your customers' biggest risk is now invisible to your tools.
