- Torq (cybersecurity unicorn) in talks to acquire AI startup Jit (~$50M) to build autonomous security agents.
- Focus:
- AI agents that autonomously detect and mitigate threats
- Reduced human intervention in cyber defense
Why this matters (for DoD):
Even though commercial-first, this is highly relevant:
- Cybersecurity is becoming autonomous by default
- Direct spillover into:
- DoD cyber operations
- Autonomous network defense
- AI-enabled zero-trust environments
👉 This is the cyber equivalent of autonomous weapons systems
