Security leaders must find strategies to level the playing field and evolve defenses in tandem with the sophistication of attacks .
The Impact of AI on Threats and Defense
We recently surveyed nearly 1,800 security leaders and practitioners across a broad array of global industries . Our research was conducted to understand how the adoption of new AI is affecting the threats stakeholders face , how they are responding , and AI ’ s role in prevention , threat detection , incident response , and recovery workflows .
AI ’ s effects on the threat landscape are already being felt . A majority of survey participants ( 74 %) report their organizations are seeing significant impacts from AIpowered cyber threats . An even greater majority ( 89 %) believe that AI-powered threats will continue to trouble their organizations well into the future .
Many security leaders and practitioners feel they are not ready for what ’ s to come . Two in every three survey participants ( 60 %) believe their organizations are inadequately prepared to defend against AI-powered threats and attacks .

To do so , they will need to know which AI-powered solutions will deliver on their promise , and which are simply hype . p
