Infosec pros still aren't nailing the basics of AI security
Briefly

During CYBERUK, Peter Garraghan highlighted a concerning trend where organizations embrace generative AI while lacking comprehension of its security implications. The NCSC’s report warns that failure to adapt to AI threats could lead to vulnerabilities in critical systems by 2027. As AI enhances the capabilities of cybercriminals, organizations need to integrate AI into their cyber defenses swiftly to mitigate risks, especially given the decreasing time to exploit vulnerabilities.
Garraghan emphasized that while the use of generative AI is prevalent, there’s a concerning lack of understanding regarding its security risks among professionals.
The NCSC highlighted in their report that critical systems could be vulnerable to AI-empowered attackers by 2027, urging organizations to integrate AI into their defenses.
