CyberheistNews Vol 15 #28 [The $1B Question] Is Your Security Team Ready for AI Prompt Attacks?
KnowBe4, Tuesday, July 15th, 2025
Probably not. So the question becomes: "Should your security team learn prompt engineering?" The answer is definitely YES. Here's why:
AI-powered attacks are evolving at scary speed. Criminals are using LLMs to craft perfect phishing emails, automate social engineering and scale attacks like never before.
Your defenders need the same weapons.
At KnowBe4, we're seeing security teams who understand prompt engineering catch threats three times faster. They're building AI agents that analyze patterns humans miss, and automating response workflows that used to take hours. They are using adaptive email security tools with O365 that use AI to defend against and quarantine the most sophisticated threats.
The future of cybersecurity isn't just about defending against AI - it's about wielding it better than the attackers. Start simple: Have your team take a prompt engineering course. Run an internal hackathon. Build your first security AI agent. The criminals already have.
