How Threat Actors Are Using AI

Cybercriminals are using AI to automate reconnaissance, create convincing phishing and impersonation campaigns, adapt attack techniques in real time, and accelerate attacks beyond the speed of human defenders.

Organisations should focus on understanding and securing their external attack surface, improving visibility across their environment, and using threat intelligence to detect and respond to emerging AI-driven threats.

An effective MSSP should provide threat intelligence based on real-world incidents, proactively identify risks relevant to your business, and offer expert guidance rather than simply monitoring alerts or deploying tools.

High-quality threat intelligence is timely, relevant, and contextual. It should come from live incident response experience and help organisations understand which threats are most likely to target their industry, environment, and business.

Focus on the business outcomes AI delivers rather than AI features alone. The most effective security strategies combine AI with integrated security technologies, expert analysis, and a well-connected security ecosystem.
