AI-related cyber risk has entered the top tier of security concerns for the first time, with threat actors using AI to scale attacks and organisations adopting it for incident response and threat hunting. Regulation has overtaken cyber threats as the primary driver of security investment for the first time. A notable gap exists between perceived and actual preparedness, particularly around post-quantum cryptography, where 90% feel prepared but over a third haven't reviewed relevant government guidance. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
