The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released an assessment highlighting the rising threat of AI-enabled cyber intrusions. The report predicts that by 2028, adversaries will increasingly leverage artificial intelligence to enhance their attack strategies, making them more sophisticated and harder to detect. Key areas of concern include automated phishing attacks, AI-driven malware, and the potential for deepfake technology to manipulate human interactions and bypass security measures. Organizations are urged to invest in AI-based defense mechanisms to counter these emerging threats. The assessment underscores the need for proactive cybersecurity strategies and continuous adaptation to the evolving threat landscape.
