Four in five (80%) of cybersecurity providers claim that AI is the biggest cyber threat to their business, according to new research from RiverSafe, a pioneering cybersecurity professional services provider. The findings were revealed in the AI Unleashed: Navigating Cyber Risks Report, a survey of 250 cybersecurity providers conducted by independent polling agency Censuswide, which detailed the rising threat of AI in cybersecurity.

The research uncovered the preparedness of organisations and their plans to improve their cyber posture to cope against AI-powered threats. It was found that 81% believe that the risks of artificial intelligence are more of a threat than the benefits it brings, suggesting that more must be done to improve confidence towards the development of AI.
