Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising industries, and cybercrime is no exception. While organisations explore AI-driven security solutions, threat actors are leveraging the same technology to enhance their attacks—making them faster, more sophisticated, and more targeted than ever before. 

In today’s digital-first world, adopting artificial intelligence (AI) brings remarkable benefits, but it also introduces significant cyber security and compliance risks. To help mitigate these risks and align with AI governance best practices, a comprehensive AI risk assessment is crucial. This strategic approach not only enhances cyber resilience but also ensures your organisation meets regulatory compliance standards like GDPR, NIS2, and DORA. Here’s how your company can implement an effective AI risk assessment framework to secure a leading position in ethical AI adoption and risk management.

AI adoption is transforming business practices across industries—from financial analysis to software engineering. Enterprises that strategically embrace this technology will gain a significant competitive advantage.

In a recent incident, a prominent cyber security company discovered they had inadvertently hired a North Korean operative posing as an IT professional. This individual, using various AI tools, managed to infiltrate the company by joining as an employee, accessed its systems and attempted to plant malware. The incident has brought to light the increasing sophistication of cyber threats during the recruitment process. If a major cyber security firm can fall victim, other less security-savvy organisations face even greater risks and underscores the necessity for robust verification processes and heightened vigilance in recruitment.
