Change your cyber risk strategy to meet AI threats, Five Eyes countries warn CSOs

Five Eyes cybersecurity agencies (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand) warn that threat actors are increasingly using AI to bypass security defenses, with capabilities advancing in months rather than years, so organizations must urgently update their cyber risk strategies. They recommend that business leaders treat cybersecurity as core business risk, get security fundamentals right, use AI deliberately to strengthen defenses, and take practical actions like reducing attack surface, accelerating security patches, and preparing breach response plans. However, some experts criticize the guidance as too generic and lacking specific advice on AI-related risks.
