Recent discussions highlight the dual nature of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in cybersecurity. A report from Ivanti indicates that phishing remains the top growing cyber threat, exacerbated by the capabilities of GenAI. Research from CyberRisk Alliance, based on a survey of 179 security administrators and executives in North America, reveals that AI is perceived as both a significant threat and a potential savior in combating phishing and malware. Additionally, experts warn that emerging cybersecurity threats may arise from unexpected sources, including teenagers and AI-savvy employees, who could increase the frequency of attacks in the coming year. The implications of these trends underscore the need for heightened awareness and proactive measures in the cybersecurity landscape as organizations prepare for 2025.
