Due to the increase in AI cyber-attacks, major changes in cybersecurity approaches have been noted in a recent survey by Deep Instinct. Three quarters or 75% of security professionals have altered their cyberspace protection attitudes within the past 12 months with three-fifths (73%) of them focusing on stronger preventive measures. Furthermore, Ninety-seven percents (97%) had fears about possible security crashes caused by rivals’ artificial intelligence in a certain enterprise during this year alone.
While addressing the challenges fronted by security operations (secops) teams in adjusting to ai-driven rapidly evolving threat landscape, lane bess, who is the ceo at deep instinct, said that the situation is becoming worse.
Simply put, Elon Musk does not agree with Apple’s use of OpenAI’s ChatGPT because he is generally worried about data security and privacy issues.Specifically, Apple is touting its new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities as being more user friendly, but this situation brings into focus ongoing discussions about how much room should be given for creativity while maintaining safety in information technology (IT).
A group of researchers showed that synthetic audio or video media files digitally altered using AI technology (also known as deepfakes) are increasingly focusing on corporate leaders as opposed to only celebrities. During the previous year, 61 % of companies experienced an increase in deepfake occurrences with 75 % being aimed at CEOs and other top-level managers.
A number of entities continue to depend on outdated and passive cybersecurity solutions such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) despite the increasing threats of AI. According to the survey, EDR is used by 41% of organizations to guard against adversarial AI; however, only fewer than 31% are looking at scaling up their investments into such kind of software-based security. Bess disapproved of this dependence, arguing that EDR should be the final solution and so proposed for prevention-oriented methodology aimed at stopping attacks well before they get to their target sites.
Businesses are slowly moving from a so-called “assumed breach” attitude towards a new technological approach. While previous technologies in place allowed establishments to stop AI adversaries, currently 42% use such prevention tools as anticipatory pre-emption systems. At the same time, it is worth noting that some executives feel compelled by their shareholders to install measures preventing internet-based hacks rather than banking on old guard mechanisms.
The report discovered the increased levels of stress in 66% of professionals, the rise of adversarial AI contributing to exhaustion and tension when juxtaposed with the earlier year’s statistics. This has made SecOps professionals view artificial intelligence in an opposite perspective so as to solve it. In fact, 35% of those surveyed wish to adopt machines in performing repetitive duties which are time-consuming.
