Nearly all CISOs expect cyberattacks to intensify over the next three years, with artificial intelligence playing a growing role in both the sophistication and volume of threats, according to new global research by CSC, reports IT Brief Asia.
The report, based on input from 300 senior IT leaders across North America, Europe, the UK, and Asia-Pacific, identifies cybersquatting, ransomware, and domain-based attacks as the top cyber concerns for 2024. A striking 98% of respondents anticipate a rise in cyber incidents, while 87% see AI-powered domain generation algorithms as a direct and evolving threat. Yet only 7% feel very confident in their domain defenses. The study underscores vulnerabilities in DNS infrastructure and highlights widespread concern over third-party AI access to corporate data. Experts warn that the human element, marked by skill gaps and underinvestment in domain monitoring, remains a critical weakness. CSC leaders urge tighter AI governance, improved internal awareness, and partnerships with domain security experts to navigate the rising threat landscape.
