| Seven of 10 technology leaders polled by the World Economic Forum (WEF) believe small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have reached a “cybersecurity tipping point” where they may not be able to effectively secure their organizations against the increasing “complexity of cyber risks.” What’s more is a third of SMBs told WEF researchers they already feel their cyber resilience is inadequate, a proportion that has swelled sevenfold in the last three years. What are the drivers of this mass anxiety among SMBs? Artificial intelligence (AI) is one. Why? Because cybercriminals armed with AI-powered automation can attack thousands of SMBs at once, exploiting companies with weak fortifications that lack dedicated security teams working with their own advanced AI tech. That’s one reason CISA, the federal agency charged with cyber defense, in collaboration with the private sector National Cybersecurity Alliance, designates every October Cybersecurity Awareness Month to bolster vigilance across the business spectrum. That’s also one reason our parent organization named a virtual chief artificial intelligence officer earlier this year. Among this visionary executive’s missions is providing our national network of premier managed services providers with insights, strategies and tactics into countering AI-generated cyber assaults with AI-fortified defenses. In fact, we already have a white paper about it. Interested in learning more about how we can apply AI tools to your cyber defenses? Call us for a consultation. |
