Uncovering the blind spots – Cybersecurity in the age of AI
According to the latest situation reports, since the widespread adoption of AI, cyber-attacks have not only been on the rise but have also become more sophisticated. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are frequently targeted by these attacks, as they are often less comprehensively protected than large corporations. But how does one get started with cyber security? How much work does it involve? Who is responsible for it? Can this task be delegated or outsourced?
In this AI insight, Mira Hestermann and Alisa Scholz from the Cybersecurity Transfer Centre for SMEs provide a concise overview of how you can protect your business in the age of AI. They explain the typical challenges faced by businesses and offer practical tips for implementing specific measures straight away.
The focus is on the following topics:
What threats particularly affect SMEs, and how is AI changing this?
AI as a risk and as a safeguard: How can this duality be understood and harnessed
Where are the weaknesses in the areas of technology, people and organisation?
How do an initial assessment and prioritisation work?
