AI security risks and prevention strategies highlighted by experts

Experts are warning of the dual nature of artificial intelligence in the cybersecurity landscape. While AI improves threat detection and pattern recognition, cybercriminals are leveraging the technology to launch faster, more massive, and more convincing attacks. These include the use of deepfakes to mimic voices and images in video conferences to facilitate fraud.

To combat these evolving threats, security professionals are emphasizing prevention through training and strict digital hygiene. Recommendations include verifying payments through independent channels, limiting assistant permissions to specific tasks, and conducting regular audits of connected devices and authorized access.

New guidance has been released to help businesses and professionals manage risks such as prompt injection, identity theft, and unauthorized data exposure. Key advice includes protecting credentials, managing application maintenance, and ensuring that automated tasks do not create unnecessary vulnerabilities in corporate environments.
