Generative AI has made incredible progress, yet cybersecurity lags behind. While 92% of Fortune 500 companies already have employees using ChatGPT, 84% of enterprises see cybersecurity risks as the topmost roadblock to GenAI adoption. This report will analyze the most critical GenAI risks, explore emerging solutions, and address the question: How can enterprises safely leverage GenAI?
It’s important to note that we are still in the early stage of GenAI’s development. We are only beginning to see real-life GenAI applications. We expect that security solutions will continue to be coupled with GenAI improvements. Recent advancements, such as AI Agents and multi-modal architectures, are still in their early stages but are expected to soon enter the business environment, necessitating new security solutions.
Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that malicious actors are advancing their use of GenAI. Hackers are crafting advanced phishing campaigns using ChatGPT, writing (and rewriting) malware with copilots, and creating deep-fake audio recordings of executives. While these are all new ways to perform old tricks, CISOs should be aware of these risks and ensure protection from them.
