TLDR:
- AI is considered the biggest cyber threat by CSOs
- 20% of CSOs have experienced data exposure via generative AI
Artificial intelligence is identified as the greatest cyber threat to organizations by one in five Cyber Security Officers (CSOs). Research conducted by Censuswide and RiverSafe revealed that 20% of CSOs have reported instances where employees exposed company data through generative AI platforms. Despite warnings from companies like Samsung to not input private information into AI platforms like ChatGPT, incidents of data leakage have occurred, leading to concerns about data security. Surveys from various sources have shown a general wariness among cybersecurity professionals towards the use of AI in cyber attacks.
However, the adoption of AI in cybersecurity remains on the rise, with a significant market value and belief in its potential to enhance threat detection and response. While there are concerns about the misuse of generative AI by hackers, many security professionals see its potential as a tool to combat cyber threats. It is important for organizations to assess and mitigate the risks associated with AI while harnessing its capabilities to strengthen their security solutions.
