"They found that AI is not yet widely deployed in cyber defenses due to trust concerns, with only a small minority of businesses (12%) saying they have complete faith in the technology to act autonomously, while 18% still do not use AI at all to enhance their security posture. Respondents cited accuracy and data privacy as being the top concerns slowing adoption."
"Despite this caution, the number one vulnerability continues to be human error, Kaseya revealed, largely driven by poor user practices and inadequate training. In fact, organizations fear this threat vector the most over the coming year. In terms of cybersecurity challenges, phishing remains the most damaging and persistent issue, having affected more businesses than any other form of attack."
Kaseya research finds many SMBs adopt AI cautiously for cyber defense, with only 12% fully trusting AI to operate autonomously and 18% not using AI at all. Accuracy and data privacy concerns slow adoption, though AI is applied to email security (49%), endpoint protection (34%), and threat detection (32%). Human error remains the top vulnerability, driven by poor user practices and inadequate training, and organizations fear it most over the coming year. Phishing is the most damaging, affecting 56% of respondents and 49% within the past year. Only 40% have a regularly tested incident response plan; 37% reported downtime of a day or more, and 18% suffered losses of $100,000 or more.
