Security chiefs warn of AI-enabled ransomware threat at Infosecurity Europe
ey figures from the cybersecurity industry have issued a stark
K warning about the threat posed by AI-enabled ransomware attacks .
Over 50 security leaders and senior executives gathered at a specialist security workshop , organised by Absolute Security at European conference Infosecurity Europe .
The event saw security leaders debate the risks posed by Generative AI , growing volumes of ransomware and cyberattacks and the risks posed to businesses .
Nicko van Someren , CTO , Absolute Security , said : “ Today ’ s cybersecurity defenders face attacks that are moving faster , hitting wider and going deeper than ever before , driven by sophisticated attackers using ever more powerful tools . With the odds so heavily stacked , it is critical to consider how to tool up for cyber-resilience and response , as well as for detection and protection . Planning for recovery from successful attacks is not defeatism , it ’ s pragmatism .”
Sarah Rench , GenAI Security Lead and European Cyber Security Lead at Avanade , said : “ With the rise of Generative AI you need to be extending your current security governance , applications and operations .
“ However , it ’ s equally important with the increase in the volume of security threats to explore how to use Generative AI to help assist with cyber-defence e . g . Threat hunting , incident analysis and reporting with tools like Microsoft ’ s Copilot for Security or specific Generative AI security use cases that now help solve some of the new cyber-challenges we face today .”
