This is the first part of a two-part series on how frontier AI is reshaping cyber risk.
In recent months the cyber security industry has been grappling with a key question: how do highly capable frontier AI models change the threat environment?
In this episode we break this question down by looking at how AI has affected the cat and mouse game between attackers and defenders, and the operational reality facing most organisations. In turns out that, while the technologies behind this disruption are undoubtedly advanced, many of the lessons for businesses are pretty old school.
In part two we’ll explore the growing coverage of so-called “autonomous AI security incidents”.
