AI is exposing a security structure built for yesterday’s threats
Summary
Organizations are struggling to adapt their security structures, originally built for siloed threats, to address the interconnected risks posed by AI. AI-powered tools like deepfakes and automated social engineering are blurring the lines between digital, physical, and operational security, creating complex challenges that require an integrated approach to detection and response.
