AI Is Making Cyberattacks Faster—and Harder to Stop
Cyberattacks have always had a built-in limitation: Time.
An attacker must investigate a network, find weaknesses, steal credentials, move between systems, locate valuable information, and decide what to do next. Even a highly skilled criminal can only work so fast.
AI is starting to remove that limitation.

Before You Ask AI to Translate That Message, Look at What You Are Sharing
How often does someone reach out to you at work and send a message in another language?
Maybe it came from a customer, coworker, vendor, doctor, attorney, or someone you know personally. Since you don’t understand it, you might copy the entire message, paste it into an AI chatbot, and tell it: “Translate this into English.”
