Generative AI: The Double-Edged Sword Of Cybersecurity
Security Boulevard, Monday, November 10th, 2025
The AI hacking era is here - and it's reshaping the human risk landscape as we know it. With good and bad actors increasingly using generative AI (GenAI) to deploy and defend against attacks, organizations must understand the root of it all: People.
The 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report by Verizon found that 60% of cybersecurity breaches involved a human element. Seeing how easily mistakes are made, AI is positioned to take advantage of human flaws. Despite most organizations being aware of this, 81% are concerned about GenAI leading to sensitive data leaks -over half (55%) aren't prepared with strategies for AI-driven threats, showing a significant gap in readiness.
