Organizations today are often ambivalent about agentic AI because of both its unpredictable failures and its potential use in cybercrime. Agentic systems are increasingly being given more control and are operating autonomously, taking on complex tasks and decision-making processes on behalf of users. These are often conducted with minimal human oversight, and agentic AI systems are interacting directly with enterprise systems to automate workflows. While this approach offers efficiency in ro

A new report out today from Cisco Talos, a cybersecurity company part of Cisco Systems Inc., found that in 2024, cybercriminals didn’t need zero-days or custom malware to wreak havoc: They just logged in. Identity-based attacks, misused legitimate tools, and years-old vulnerabilities drove the majority of security incidents last year.
The findings come from the Talos 2024 Year in Review report, based on telemetry from more than 46 million devices across 193 countries and regions, analyzing more
If incidents this year are any indication, deepfakes and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks increased by the growing adoption of quantum computing projects are among the many concerns organizations in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region must address in 2025. Over the past year, cybercriminals operating in the APAC region have increasingly leveraged AI to launch sophisticated campaigns such as AI-generated phishing emails, adaptive malware, and deepfakes. The attacks have undermined trust in critica
The rise of deepfakes poses significant threats to elections, public figures, and the media. Recent Insikt Group research highlights 82 deepfakes targeting public figures in 38 countries between July 2023 and July 2024. Deepfakes aimed at financial gain, election manipulation, character assassination, and spreading non-consensual pornography are on the rise. To counter these risks, organizations must act swiftly, increase awareness, and implement advanced AI detection tools.
