How Ai Is Helping Hackers Get Access to Systems Quicker than Ever Before
Hackers are carrying out attacks faster than ever, with the average time between initial access and lateral movement now just 48 minutes, according to ReliaQuest research. Attackers are taking advantage of the adoption of AI by security teams and hackers, which has changed the cybercrime landscape. The report found that hackers are relying less on encryptions, with only 20% of all breaches involving data encryption.
- This rapid evolution in attack techniques underscores the need for businesses to adopt a proactive and multi-layered approach to cybersecurity, incorporating AI-powered threat detection and response tools to stay ahead of emerging threats.
- As AI-generated attacks become increasingly sophisticated, will we see a shift towards more "human-in-the-loop" security models that combine automated threat detection with human expertise to prevent catastrophic breaches?
