The rapid evolution of new technologies such as generative AI, machine learning and IoT is undoubtedly creating unprecedented threats to business, and these risks continue to evolve and unfold on a daily basis. AI and generative AI rely on the collection and analysis of data, often sensitive or personal, and many are concerned about the danger that this data could be misused or exploited. Some experts point to the danger of cyber-criminals who could use generative AI to mimic legitimate ads, emails and other means of communication, making it a challenge to distinguish between genuine and fake content. There are also concerns that socio-political conflicts will lead to a rise in hacktivist groups that focus on disrupting critical infrastructure and services.
Conversely though, generative AI will also have a transformative impact on cybersecurity defence, helping organisations detect, evade or neutralise threats thanks to real-time anomaly detection, smart authentication and automated incident response.
With such a broad range of evolving cybersecurity threats alongside some new opportunities, organisations will need to adapt and evolve their cybersecurity strategies to address these challenges proactively, and safeguard their assets and sensitive data. Join us at this Chief Disruptor Breakfast Club meeting to discuss how to do just that.
