That is the agentic AI pricing paradox: cheaper inference, costlier workflows.
If an attacker can make your product stop working by making it expensive, your pricing model has become an attack surface.
The result is our report, "Pricing Security Products in the Agentic AI Era," a practical framework we developed for the cyber community.
A hybrid pricing model makes sense: a platform fee per protected identity, plus credits for AI workflows such as access reviews.
In cybersecurity, the pricing model must also be resilient under attack.
