HelpNet Security, Friday, May 2nd, 2025
Threat actors are increasingly harnessing automation, commoditized tools, and AI to systematically erode the traditional advantages held by defenders, according to Fortinet.
'Our latest Global Threat Landscape Report makes one thing clear: Cybercriminals are accelerating their efforts, using AI and automation to operate at unprecedented speed and scale,' said Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global VP Threat Intelligence, Fortinet FortiGuard Labs.
'The traditional security playbook is no longer enough. Organizations must shift to a proactive, intelligence-led defense strategy powered by AI, zero trust, and continuous threat exposure management,' Manky added.
