Trend Micro detected 10 percent more cyberthreats in 2023 compared to 2022.
This increase in threats is largely being driven by the availability of generative artificial intelligence which makes crafting attacks incredibly easy.
The rate at which genAI can be used to mine datasets, craft social engineering attacks and even write phishing emails means that criminals can execute more attacks and target a greater number of businesses. This means that the risk of being targeted in a cyberattack is greater than ever. “This underscores the critical need for organisations to prioritise strong cybersecurity measures to safeguard their operations and combat modern threats effectively – particularly as we navigate this era of AI in which new tools are powering more sophisticated phishing attempts at scale. By staying proactive and vigilant, organisations can mitigate risks and maintain their reputation in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
