AI has transitioned from supporting cyber attackers to actively executing real-time intrusions, lowering the expertise barrier and amplifying attack scale and speed. Attackers exploit commercial AI models, stolen credentials, and open source tools, creating new risks for enterprise AI deployments and requiring defenders to secure both their AI systems and protect against AI-powered attacks.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and AI Infrastructure.
