Cybercrime was predicted to cost the world USD $8 trillion in 2023, according to a 2022 report by Cybersecurity Ventures. If it were measured as a country, then cybercrime would be the world’s third largest economy after the U.S. and China! And by the end of 2025, the cost of cyber-attacks on the global economy is predicted to top $10.5 trillion. Attend the ITWeb Security Summit that WithSecure has a stand at to find out more about how to deal with cyber attacks.
So, what is driving this exponential increase? As in every other field of business and technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a transformative impact on both cyber-attack and defence. While AI holds great potential for enhancing cyber security, there are also an increasing number of sophisticated and smarter AI-powered attacks.
