AI is accelerating the pace of cyber threats, creating an urgent need for new security paradigms.
While AI-powered defenses are improving, threat actors are leveraging the same tools for automated attacks, deepfake fraud, and AI-powered social engineering. With regulations evolving, enterprises must act decisively to mitigate emerging risks.
To unpack the complexities of this shifting landscape, we bring together two highly renowned experts:🔹 Phédra Clouner – Deputy Director, Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium🔹 Louis de Diesbach – Technology ethicist
📌 Key insights from this episode:
📊 Why this matters:
🔍 Emerging Threats: AI is being utilized to conduct more sophisticated cyberattacks, such as AI-enhanced social engineering, where attackers generate highly realistic phishing emails or deepfakes to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information.
💰 Market Dynamics: in response to the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, organizations invested approximately $200 billion in cybersecurity products and services in 2024, up from $140 billion in 2020 (McKinsey - The cybersecurity provider’s next opportunity: Making AI safer).
🔎 Beyond firewalls, beyond compliance—this is about securing AI itself. The future of cybersecurity depends on our ability to anticipate, adapt, and act.
The cybersecurity sector is experiencing rapid evolution, with AI at the forefront of both defensive and offensive strategies. Understanding these dynamics is essential for organizations aiming to protect their assets and maintain trust in an increasingly digital world.
