Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst at Constellation Research, argues that European enterprises must accelerate AI adoption to remain competitive and defend against AI-driven cyberattacks. He notes that traditional skepticism toward U.S. innovation and a focus on sovereign cloud solutions may hinder progress in a global business environment.
During an Oracle event focused on AI cybersecurity, analysts discussed the necessity of resolving long-standing technical debt to support modern AI infrastructure. Mueller emphasized that AI environments require high elasticity and scalability, which are essential for managing agentic AI frameworks effectively.
Constellation Research evaluated Oracle’s database portfolio against its criteria for agentic AI. The firm concluded that Oracle’s offerings provide genuine agentic capabilities, avoiding the trend of 'agentic AI washing.' The analysis highlights the importance of scalable backend systems for the next phase of AI deployment.
To ensure security, Mueller recommends that organizations implement rigorous testing, including red team exercises, to identify vulnerabilities. He also noted that businesses concerned about state-sponsored espionage should prioritize quantum-safe security measures to protect their data.
