Cyber security threats and the challenge of finding skilled professionals to defend networks are major concerns for many organizations. There is a global shortage of skilled cyber security professionals to fill critical organizational roles – and adversaries and threat actors are aware of this threat. They continue to find ways to penetrate networks and retrieve information critical to national security or sensitive and classified information for financial gains.

For organizations, the responsibility of maintaining secure networks while protecting sensitive information is of the highest priority, and proper planning and assessments are essential to reduce the risks of attacks. The industry must also prepare for artificial intelligence (AI) to continue its evolution into the cyber world, creating more attacks and more work through automation and simple computations of an algorithm.

This EC-Council threat report includes research data on cyber threats and concerns about AI, providing methods for detection and mitigation from experienced IT and cyber security professionals.

  • Tangible alterations in attack methodologies amidst the AI revolution.
  • Preparing for AI cyber security defense.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to combat top cloud threat tactics and procedures (TTPs).
  • Regular training needed for incident response.
  • Responding to zero-day exploits.
