Information security in the age of AI

How attackers use AI, and the common mistakes that put our data at risk.

Information security in the age of AI

AI gives attackers new tools. Chief among them are social-engineering attacks that mine what we post on social media to craft highly convincing targeted messages, and malware that learns from user behaviour and adapts, making it harder to detect.

Practical steps

  • Publish less personal data publicly
  • Verify any urgent request before acting on it
  • Enable two-step verification on important accounts
  • Train staff regularly on new fraud patterns
