Cyber protection gaps leave AI-enhanced threat vulnerabilities

19 December 2024

AS ARTIFICIAL intelligence reshapes the cybersecurity landscape, organisations face escalating challenges when protecting against sophisticated AI-powered attacks.

In its latest study – Cyber defense & AI: Are you ready to protect your organization? – Kaspersky gathered insights from IT and Information Security professionals across SMEs and large enterprises. The research reveals a growing sense of urgency among businesses to prepare for AI-driven cyber threats, with 19% of respondents stating they have considerable gaps in their cyber protection. The study also explores barriers to achieving effective cybersecurity and the dire consequences of failing to adapt.

Despite understanding the risks, businesses face significant obstacles in building robust cybersecurity. According to the study, 44% of organisations cite the lack of AI-related cybersecurity training for employees as a critical issue. Another 44% point to the complexity of managing cybersecurity infrastructure, which makes it harder to stay ahead of attackers. The shortage of advanced tools is another key challenge. Nearly 43% of respondents admitted that their organisations lack modern AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, while 41% struggle with lack of information from external experts about the evolving AI-related threat landscape. Additionally, 39% experience the scarcity of qualified InfoSec professionals, leaving the businesses vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated threats.
