Cybersecurity in AI era hinges on basics, not new technology

AI is heightening fears by accelerating and expanding existing cybersecurity risks rather than creating entirely new ones, an analysis said. Key weaknesses for companies remain familiar, including unpatched systems, weak identity and access controls, excessive privileges, insecure third-party links and poor asset management. The risk is strategic distraction if boards focus on AI-only solutions while neglecting basics. Responses should prioritise patching, exposure reduction, training and incident readiness for AI-manipulated evidence.
