The tech industry is facing a shortage of skilled workers in cybersecurity and AI, but leaders are unsure how to fill these necessary gaps in their workforce.

Most businesses see #offensive #AI fast becoming a #standard #tool for #cybercriminals, with 93% of #security #leaders expecting to face daily AI-driven #attacks, according to Netacea. The research, “Cyber security in the age of offensive AI”, surveyed security leaders in the UK and US about their experience with AI as a tool in #cybersecurity. It reveals that not only do most security leaders expect daily AI-driven attacks, 65% expect that offensive AI will be the norm for cybercriminals, used in most #cyberattacks. The results suggest that security leaders understand the significance of offensive AI and expect the next six months to issue the dawn of a new generation of cyberattacks. Despite this expectation, there are false perceptions around where these #threats do the most harm. Only 11% of security leaders see #bot attacks as the greatest cyber threat facing their business, below #ransomware, #phishing, and #malware. In previous research, Netacea discovered that relentless bot attacks cost businesses 4.3% of their online revenue—for the largest businesses, this was the equivalent of fifty ransomware payouts. AI will not only be used as a tool to enhance cyberattacks, but in cyber defence, too. While a report from the Office of National Statistics reported that 83% of businesses had no plans to adopt AI, this is not borne out when looking at cybersecurity. @laninfotech @glenbenjamin #laninfotech #becybersmart #becyberfit #besafe LAN Infotech, LLC

Will AI spell the death of cyber security jobs? 🤖☠️ https://lnkd.in/ehzzdbmB According to ISC2’s AI study, AI Cyber 2024 - “88% of cyber security professionals believe that AI will significantly impact their jobs, now or in the near future.” And that “35% of these professionals have already witnessed its effects.” So how is it being used?

It’s no secret that #AI is changing the game and is starting to become an integral part of our day-to-day lives. In fact, a new generation of cyberattacks is evolving as AI becomes a standard tool for cybercriminals. I recently read about some new research in a Help Net Security article that found that 65% of surveyed security leaders expect that offensive AI will be the norm for cybercriminals.  From my perspective, organizations should focus on the following to better protect themselves against this new era of cyber attacks:  ️🔒Implement robust security protocols   🔒️Stay updated on AI advancements and the cyber threat landscape  🔒 Prioritize #data privacy  🔒 Conduct regular risk assessments  🔒️Foster a culture of #cybersecurity The evolution of AI opens organizations up to new risks and vulnerabilities, but it also poses opportunities to improve our defenses. As security leaders, how are you addressing AI-powered cyber threats?
