# Software commands 40% of cybersecurity budgets as gen AI attacks execute in milliseconds

**[Venture Beat](https://daily.dev/sources/venturebeat)** · 9 min read · 3 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Software now dominates 40% of cybersecurity budgets as organizations face millisecond-speed AI attacks while traditional defenses take 181 days to identify threats. Security leaders are consolidating from 75+ fragmented tools to unified platforms, with budgets surging 10% to combat generative AI phishing, quantum computing threats, and deepfake fraud. The shift prioritizes real-time AI defenses at the inference layer, automated remediation, and post-quantum cryptography adoption by 2030.
