“Businesses today are at risk from cybersecurity threats that are increasing in both variety and sophistication, such as social engineering attacks, ransomware, various forms of malware, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. An alarming development in the cyber threat landscape is the rise of AI-driven attacks.”
According to Reuben Koh, Security Technology and Strategy Director (APJ), Akamai cyber threats are increasing in both variety and sophistication, with a particular rise in AI-driven attacks. These attacks leverage AI to enhance both efficiency and effectiveness, from improving the authenticity of phishing communications to the development of more potent forms of malware. Deepfake technology, another concerning trend, enables realistic audio and video impersonations, leading to sophisticated social engineering attacks and the spread of misinformation. Koh emphasizes the necessity of staying ahead of the curve, investing heavily to develop comprehensive cybersecurity solutions that leverage AI and ML capabilities to detect and respond to attacks in real time.
“Businesses today are at risk from cybersecurity threats that are increasing in both variety and sophistication, such as social engineering attacks, ransomware, various forms of malware, and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. An alarming development in the cyber threat landscape is the rise of AI-driven attacks, where cybercriminals leverage AI to increase both the efficiency and effectiveness of their malicious activities,” he comments.
