The Cybersecurity War Has a New Battlefield — AI

Statistic: Over US$25 million was lost by a finance worker in a single deepfake scam — where fraudsters used AI to impersonate a company CFO during a video call.

Insight: AI isn’t just powering innovation — it’s arming both sides of the cybersecurity battle. While attackers exploit deepfakes, phishing automation, and data poisoning, many IT teams are still relying on outdated tools and incomplete defences.

This isn’t the time for passive defence. As Mary Shacklett notes, the future of cybersecurity requires IT to fight AI with AI — combining threat hunting, zero-trust policies, and real-time anomaly detection.

If your strategy hasn’t been updated for the AI age, you’re already behind.
