100-plus companies call for ‘global surge’ in AI-powered cyber defense

More than 100 companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Capital One, Mastercard, Visa, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Proofpoint, have signed an open letter urging a global effort to strengthen cybersecurity defenses as artificial intelligence capabilities advance. The signatories argue that defenders have a narrow window to address longstanding vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, weak authentication, and technical debt before AI-enabled attacks become widespread. The letter calls on organizations, governments, and frontier AI companies to accelerate defense investments, test defenses against advanced AI capabilities, and ensure critical infrastructure receives adequate resources and support.

Why it matters: Security practitioners, especially those in critical infrastructure with limited budgets, need to prioritize fixing high-risk weaknesses and modernizing defenses now, as AI-powered attacks are expected to accelerate in the next two to three years and render current security practices obsolete.
