According to recent surveys, a significant majority of cybersecurity professionals believe artificial intelligence (AI) is highly effective for detecting previously unnoticed threats, with around 70% stating its effectiveness. 90% of organizations are implementing or planning to explore use cases for AI, yet only 5% feel confident in their AI security preparedness. At the same time, 85% of cybersecurity leaders attribute recent attacks to bad actors utilizing generative AI, indicating a growing concern about AI-powered threats.
