Don’t let AI distract from cybersecurity basics, officials and executives warn

Government and industry officials warn that foundational cybersecurity practices remain more impactful than artificial intelligence (AI)-driven threats. Simple, conventional attacks continue to cause greater damage than emerging AI-based attack vectors, according to leaders across both sectors.

Why it matters: Security practitioners should prioritize implementation and maintenance of core security controls and hygiene over focusing resources primarily on emerging AI threats, as traditional attack methods pose the more immediate and substantial risk today.
