   AI-powered cyber threats are becoming the biggest worry for businesses   
   everywhere

   Description:   
   Businesses are increasingly worried about AI use in cyberattacks but they're   
   also learning how to defend.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   Almost four in five Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) say Artificial   
   Intelligence-powered (AI) threats are having a significant impact on their   
   organization, new research has claimed.    
      
   The 2025 State of AI Cybersecurity report, released by Darktrace surveyed    
   more than 1,500 cybersecurity professionals across 14 countries, finding 78%   
   saw AI-powered threats as significant, up 5% from in 2024. These are being   
   combined with increasing cybercrime-as-a-service solutions, as well as   
   automation, resulting in more sophistication and diversity in attack   
   techniques in ransomware , phishing, and other methods.    
      
   However, businesses are not sitting idly, the report added, as almost   
   two-thirds of the respondents (60%) said they are adequately prepared to   
   defend against these threats, up 15% year-on-year.   
      
   Unknown attackers    
      
   Darktrace added that the results could have been even better, were it not for   
   insufficient AI knowledge and skills, and an acute shortage of personnel and   
   talent.    
      
   "The impact of AI on cybersecurity is clear and increasing. There are more   
   employees and enterprise applications using AI that must be protected.   
   Adversaries are using it to make their attacks more targeted, scalable, and   
   successful. All of this is unfolding in a highly volatile geopolitical   
   environment that is creating more uncertainty," said Jill Popelka, CEO,   
   Darktrace.    
      
   "There has never been a more urgent need for AI in the SOC to augment teams   
   and pre-empt threats so organizations can build their cyber resilience.    
      
   While almost all (95%) of surveyed professionals see AI as means to improve   
   the speed and efficiency of their cybersecurity platforms, fewer than half   
   (42%) said they fully understand the types of AI in their security stack.
