Executive summary

Keeping up with the latest threats isn’ t easy for cybersecurity professionals. Akin to untying the legendary Gordian knot, stopping waves of unknown threats across every IT domain before one gets in is intricately complex. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence( AI) – what’ s been called the AI revolution – are upping the ante even further. Security leaders must find strategies to level the playing field and evolve defences in tandem with the sophistication of attacks.

The impact of AI on threats and defense

We recently surveyed nearly 1,800 security leaders and practitioners across a broad array of global industries. Our research was conducted to understand how the adoption of new AI is affecting the threats stakeholders face, how they are responding, and AI’ s role in prevention, threat detection, incident response, and recovery workflows.

AI’ s effects on the threat landscape are already being felt. A majority of survey participants( 74 %) report their organisations are seeing significant impacts from AIpowered cyberthreats. An even greater majority( 89 %) believe that AI-powered threats will continue to trouble their organisations well into the future.

Many security leaders and practitioners feel they are not ready for what’ s to come. Two in every three survey participants( 60 %) believe their organisations are inadequately prepared to defend against AI-powered threats and attacks. AI may help reduce the industrywide skills shortage that has held defenders back, but only if practitioners can maximise the value of these new tools in real-world workflows. To do so, they will need to know which AI-powered solutions will deliver on their promise, and which are simply hype. �
