Abstract: The evolution of artificial intelligence technologies has fundamentally transformed the product security landscape, creating a complex duality where AI simultaneously strengthens and compromises security measures across digital ecosystems. This article shows the multifaceted impact of AI on cybersecurity, exploring how the integration of intelligent systems enhances code development security through automated vulnerability detection and real-time test generation while dramatically improving incident response capabilities through workflow automation and agentic systems. However, these advancements are counterbalanced by an equally sophisticated threat landscape, where AI democratizes attack tools, enables complex attack orchestration through agentic systems, and introduces novel vectors like model poisoning targeting the language models themselves. The resulting technological equilibrium establishes a continuous cycle of advancement and adaptation between defenders and attackers, with security advantages proving increasingly temporary and contextual. As organizations navigate this evolving landscape, the responsibilities of technology developers in creating secure AI systems become increasingly critical, pointing toward hybrid security frameworks that combine artificial and human intelligence as the most promising approach to establishing sustainable security in an AI-dominated future.
