AI and Quantum Computing Accelerate Cyber Threats, Demanding New Defenses

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing presents a dual threat to cybersecurity, compressing both reaction and planning windows for security teams. AI is accelerating attacks by automating vulnerability discovery, malware creation, and social engineering, while also introducing risks through unauthorized employee use of AI tools and potential manipulation of AI outputs. Simultaneously, quantum computing poses a long-term threat through "harvest now, decrypt later" tactics, necessitating a proactive transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. Security leaders recognize AI as a significant driver of change, with a vast majority anticipating AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk. AI

IMPACT Requires proactive security measures and adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography to mitigate escalating AI-driven cyber risks.
