AI is changing an uncomfortable equation in cybersecurity: sophisticated attacks no longer need sophisticated attackers.
At our Cyber Breach Workshop on 8 October, we explored what happens when AI capabilities increasingly sit in the hands of threat actors.
AI offers scale. It can broaden access to knowledge, accelerate discovery, improve prioritisation and bring together vast amounts of fragmented information. In the wrong hands, those same capabilities can help identify targets, vulnerabilities and the points where an attack could cause the most disruption.
The result is not simply more sophisticated cyberattacks. It is the democratisation of sophistication.
Our workshop put participants into a developing cyber incident where legal, operational and reputational risks emerged simultaneously. The exercise reinforced that cyber resilience is no longer simply an IT or security challenge. Leadership, legal, communications, risk and security all need to be ready to respond together.
Thank you to Andrew McBean, Narongsak Wongpichit, Athistha (Nop) Chitranukroh and Thammapas (PT) Chanpanich, and to everyone who joined us and made the discussion so valuable.
