AI-Powered Cyberattacks Are Here: How They Are Supercharging Ransomware Attacks and How You Can Mitigate Them

JD Supra

In today’s landscape of evolving cyber threats, assuming your business is safe is no longer an option – it’s time to take proactive steps to defend against cyberattacks. In the arms race between cyberattacks and organizations defending their IT infrastructures and network systems, malicious actors are compelling businesses to bolster cybersecurity resiliency and vigilance to create a more level playing field. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), cybercriminals are beginning to surpass manually generated threats in speed, sophistication and the damage they inflict.

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • $10.22 million is the average cost to U.S. companies per cyber breach*

  • Every 39 seconds a cyberattack takes place globally

  • 70% of attackers target small- and medium-sized businesses**

  • 60% of small businesses shut down within six months after a cyberattack

As criminal AI applications continue to advance, organizations must ensure that they stay prepared.
