Nearly half of senior security leaders estimate that at least a quarter of all cybersecurity incidents their organizations faced in the past year were enabled by artificial intelligence, according to a recent EY study. This data confirms AI-linked cyber incidents are a rapidly growing component of the modern threat environment.

This paradigm shift in cyberattack methodology and defense architecture makes understanding and governing this new reality an urgent priority for corporate boards.
