“The future is now and AI is changing our world, presenting opportunities for every industry,” he said. “But it is a double-edged sword, and is being used by both attackers and defenders. With every day that the technology evolves, the attack surface expands exponentially.” Co-presenter Marc Nel, business development manager: security operations – Africa at Fortinet, said: “More and more, we are seeing a rise in the weaponisation of AI. Gartner noted a 40% rise in AI-enabled attacks over the past year alone.”“On the other hand, as businesses harness AI for transformation, there are also AI model vulnerabilities to defend against. AI data lakes and AI models are vulnerable to risks like data poisoning and SQL injection attacks.
