New York, NY -- Saturn Business Systems, Inc.
With the explosion of AI and the wide use of it by all levels of users, AI presents both opportunities and threats to critical infrastructure. While AI can enhance the security and efficiency of systems like energy grids and transportation networks, it also introduces new vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit. These threats include AI-powered cyberattacks, AI-related safety and security vulnerabilities, and the potential for AI to exacerbate existing risks.
These and countless other vulnerabilities must be addressed to prevent attackers from exploiting them. Guardrails need to be in place, expert advice on AI and Cyber-attacks including penetration testing and automating the execution recognizing and stopping the attacks faster and more efficiently is essential to keeping the data secure and out of the wrong hands.
AI can be used to develop more sophisticated malware, enabling attackers to bypass traditional security measures and launch more damaging attacks *according to Malwarebytes.
AI can be used to create highly personalized and convincing phishing emails and other social engineering tactics, making it easier for attackers to trick individuals into compromising systems.
I can think of an instance right off the top of my head of a customer who processes orders/commerce and was infiltrated, and no orders/email/revenue could take place for a good period of time. The revenue loss was tremendous. This is very common today, not only commerce but healthcare and the like.
I would say that my best advice to my customers would be, this is not a future topic to talk about, it is now, and it is imminent. Finding a qualified, trustworthy partner like Saturn Business Systems can bring to you the right resources with qualified technology experts ahead of time will be your greatest defense. This is what we do here at Saturn, let’s Talk!
