On October 23, 2026, Box CEO Aaron Levie offered the judgment that autonomous agents make "security through obscurity" completely obsolete: such systems will comb through every crevice and try every permutation of attacks. He expects a large amount of legacy enterprise infrastructure will need upgrading, with security practices, data pipelines, and access controls all needing modernization; agents can also accelerate this work on the defense side and simulate risk vectors. He also said this is part of why the diffusion model timeline will be longer than some people expect. Currently this judgment is reported by a single source, with no subsequent factual developments.

Aaron Levie: Autonomous agents end security through obscurity
Box CEO Aaron Levie believes that security through obscurity has completely failed in the face of autonomous agents—such systems will search every crevice and try every permutation of attacks. He expects a large amount of legacy enterprise infrastructure will need upgrading, with security practices, data pipelines, and access controls all needing modernization; agents can accelerate this work on the defense side and simulate risk vectors. He also says this is part of the reason the diffusion model timeline will be longer than some people expect.
