The cybersecurity landscape is evolving as both attackers and defenders leverage artificial intelligence (AI). Despite 96% of companies having a crisis response plan, 71% experienced significant cybersecurity breaches last year. The International Energy Agency's report reveals that energy organizations faced an alarming rise in cyberattacks, reflecting a critical need for advanced defensive tools. AI enhances threat detection and response capabilities, helping organizations strengthen their defenses while simultaneously providing attackers with new avenues to execute sophisticated threats. This duality underscores the ongoing challenge of maintaining cybersecurity in an increasingly adversarial environment.
AI acts as a force multiplier in both directions, enhancing threat detection and enabling more responsive protection on the one hand while simultaneously empowering adversaries with tools for sophisticated attacks on the other.
In 2024, a typical energy organization, such as a gas or electricity utility, received over 1,500 cyberattacks, triple the number only four years earlier.
