"The Cloud Native Computing Foundation have published an analysis of modern cybersecurity practices, finding that attacks using Artificial Intelligence are now a significant threat. The report highlights the criticality for organisations to adopt multi-layered defence strategies as artificial intelligence transforms both the threat landscape and the protective measures available to businesses."
"In 2023, Darktrace reported a 135% increase in social engineering attacks, with hackers using cracking tools like wormGPT and FraudGPT to create highly personalised and deceptive attack campaigns against organisations that avoid conventional security filters. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern, but rather a boardroom priority. With AI-driven cyber threats no longer limited to generic phishing emails or outdated malware, today's attacks are smarter, more precise, and alarmingly convincing."
"The analysis emphasises that relying on a single security tool isn't enough any more. Those organisations fighting these threats successfully need integrated systems which combine firewalls, encryption, and advanced threat detection. A post by Talion shows AI also being used to fight threats; finding that in the United States, 73% of companies have implemented AI to some extent, with 54% adopting generative AI, creating both opportunities and vulnerabilities that require constant monitoring."
AI-powered attacks have evolved past traditional phishing into targeted campaigns exploiting human trust. In 2023 social engineering attacks rose 135%, with tools like wormGPT and FraudGPT enabling highly personalized campaigns that bypass conventional filters. Cybersecurity has become a boardroom priority as attacks grow smarter and more convincing. Successful defence requires integrated, multi-layered systems combining firewalls, encryption, and advanced threat detection, with intrusion detection systems and cloud-native monitoring services such as AWS GuardDuty, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Google Cloud IDS. Widespread AI adoption (73% in the United States, 54% using generative AI) creates both defensive opportunities and new vulnerabilities that demand constant monitoring.
