CISOs can no longer ignore the nation-state threat

Nation-state threat actors, especially those using AI, are increasingly targeting private companies in ways many organizations don't recognize, creating tension between CISOs who want to remove attackers quickly and government agencies who want to monitor them longer for intelligence. CISOs must now treat nation-state threats as part of their regular risk management and work more closely with the federal government, even if their organizations don't consider themselves strategic targets, because AI is making attackers better at staying hidden and pre-positioning themselves in networks.
