Hi friend,
If you’re like most IT leaders right now, AI is probably at the very top of your priority list.
The promise is real. But the same technologies driving innovation are also reshaping the threat landscape and have been for years.
Early in the AI surge, a client came to us after an AI-enhanced cyberattack which compromised systems in a region still operating on legacy infrastructure. They were hit hard. Employees were sent home because no one could log in. It took six weeks to stabilize operations, and recovery required a massive effort—not just to restore systems, but to ensure remnants of the attack weren't still lurking deep in the system.
We share this not to alarm, but because we’ve seen the damage firsthand.
Innovation without protection is a liability.
As you invest in AI, your cybersecurity strategy must evolve alongside it. This means reassessing risk, strengthening identity controls, modernizing detection and response, and building governance frameworks designed specifically for AI-driven threats.
To help, we built you a Cybersecurity Checklist to Defend Against AI. No matter where you are in your AI journey, it’s a quick read that walks you through what makes the most resilient cybersecurity strategy, how to use AI in your defense, and more.
