## Summary

Cybersecurity specialists Olivier Daloy (CISO of Zscaler France) and ethical hacker SaxX describe the risks posed by AI agents connected to company information systems via RAG. They discuss "ghost jacking", a technique for concealing malicious instructions, and the growing difficulty of attributing cyberattacks. According to SaxX, operational teams lack budget and support from management, and large companies take several months to deploy security measures. Micro-businesses and SMEs, often subcontractors, are also entry points into larger systems. Despite these risks, both experts consider the adoption of agentic AI inevitable and essential, comparable to the arrival of email.
