This week, intelligence agencies from five countries warned that AI-powered cyberattacks could become significantly more powerful within months.

According to CNN world, the "Five Eyes grouping, comprising the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, urged governments and corporate leaders to “act now” to improve their defenses against sophisticated cyber threats."

Organizations that treat AI like a technology project, as in most "everyday businesses" are must vulnerable to risk.

The recommendation?

"To counter the threat, businesses and leaders should invest in cyber defenses, upgrade old systems or patch faulty software, and limit who has access to critical systems, the Five Eyes leaders said."

You can't say you didn't know it was coming!

That was the main threat issued to Charter after millions of records with customer information were compromised. The information was accessed after a voice phishing attack was used to access a single employee's Microsoft account.

It's not fiction or hyperbole. This is the real challenge of a modern company with resources and access to proper risk-management solutions.

Don't let the next headline be about your organization. Contact RiskVersity today.

Strong risk management starts with strong leadership.

When McKinsey & Company interviewed Chief Risk Officers at financial institutions, they found that the most successful among them were leaders who used their influence to build resilience to risk.

Today, we remember those who risked it all for others.
