Artificial intelligence is reshaping cyber warfare. In 2025, cybercriminals harness generative AI to create hyper-realistic phishing emails, deepfake audio, and dynamic malware that evades detection. According to Business Insider, 80% of financial organizations fear they can’t keep pace with AI-enhanced attacks, even as they invest millions in defenses source.
Organizations must counter this with AI-driven defenses—tools like CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Defender now use machine learning to spot threats in real time. The World Economic Forum reports that deepfake scams could cost victims over $25 million, as seen in the Arup engineering fraud source.
✅ Action steps:
-
Deploy AI-enabled threat detection across all endpoints
-
Train staff to spot AI-generated scams
