As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, its impact on cybersecurity grows more significant. AI is an incredibly powerful tool in the hands of both cyber attackers and defenders, playing a pivotal role in the evolving landscape of digital threats and security defense mechanisms. In this blog, let’s explore the ways AI is employed by attackers to conduct cyber attacks, and how defenders are using AI to deter and counter threats.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become indispensable tools across various sectors, reshaping how we interact with data and driving innovation in sensitive domains. Their profound impact extends to areas such as healthcare, finance, and legal frameworks, where the handling of sensitive information demands heightened security measures.

In the oft-obscure world of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), the structures we see reaching for the skyline are not just feats of design and engineering but archives of data, each rivet and beam a data point in a colossal network of information. Yet, with these digital monoliths comes an invisible vulnerability – data control, a challenge that’s upending the AEC industry.

How can an organization prepare to be cyber-resilient in 2024? The major trends to look out for seem to focus mainly on AI. While the rise of generative AI indeed poses challenges, executives should be cautious not to miss other critical trends that will shape the cybersecurity landscape this year.

Much has been made of cyber resilience in recent years. And with good reason: failing to bounce back quickly from a security event can have dramatic financial consequences. In early 2023, Royal Mail took several days to recover from a Lockbit cyberattack, losing upwards of £10 million in the process. However, for all the talk about resilience, the industry seems to be overlooking one of its fundamental tenets: risk management. It is, perhaps, understandable that we overlook risk management.

Whether it's because industrial control systems remain quite vulnerable to attacks, or because these systems manage valuable physical resources and uptime is essential—or a bit of both—attackers are increasingly targeting operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS).
