A new report from cybersecurity firm Arctic Wolf finds that companies are more concerned about novel AI-related security risks than they are about common threats like ransomware. Arctic Wolf's analysis suggests this is a perceptual disconnect, as traditional attack vectors remain the most frequent and damaging to businesses.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Enterprise buyers are budgeting for AI threats, not the common attacks that are actually hitting them. Frame your product as a defence against AI-driven attacks, even if it solves a more fundamental security problem.
