Who Are You: AI Will Disrupt Your Cybersecurity Complacency

The hottest LinkedIn post right now is on an artificial intelligence (AI)-based "job applicant" that can pass as human -- unless you know how to defeat it.

The next hottest AI agent right now is Manus. A few weeks ago the hot new platform was DeepSeek. We don't have any association with Manus or DeepSeek, we don't provide legal advice, etc. -- but open-source agents such as this that use 1 GPU (not thousands of GPUs) are going to become the norm.

What are the AI implications for cybersecurity?

1. Botnet and AI agent attacks. The attacks will not only target you (see AI-based job applicant post above and the TikTok notice*), they will target your customers and clients by spoofing your site. Will you be able to know whether a customer call requesting account information is real?

2. Anticipating how to defeat attacks. If you don't anticipate joining/being assimilated by them, you need to beat them. And keep on beating them.

3. Balancing the risk of AI attacks with the benefits of AI integration. Eventually your organization will somewhere, somehow integrate AI into its operations. All cybersecurity requires risk management. Executives will need to learn what their risk tolerance is for this integration and then develop guidelines and guard rails.

Ask us how you can anticipate new AI trends, attacks, and cybersecurity risk management.
