Summary
A recent survey by Flexential highlights the growing cybersecurity concerns as organizations invest more in artificial intelligence (AI). With over half of IT decision-makers acknowledging the handling of more sensitive data, the risks associated with data storage near network edges are evident. The survey also pointed out that the complexity of AI applications expands the potential attack surface, with over 40% of cybersecurity teams lacking the expertise to safeguard these technologies. Staffing shortages in both AI and cybersecurity further exacerbate these vulnerabilities, prompting a pressing need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and increased expertise in these fields, as indicated by supporting studies on privacy and data security.
