The AI shift in cyber risk: why leaders must act now
As the leaders of the Five Eyes cyber security agencies, we are united in our call to action: the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming cyber risk, and we must act swiftly to remain ahead.
A call to action
While Al will help us improve cyber defence over time, it also accelerates the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats.
Frontier Al models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. The timeline is not years, it is months.
In this environment, cyber resilience is integral to advancing business continuity, market confidence, and long-term value. We urge leaders to:
- understand and assess risk, readiness and accountability
- prioritize foundational cyber security practices and controls
- empower cyber leaders with authority and resources
- stay actively engaged as threats and guidance evolve
Success will come from getting the basics right, acting quickly, and integrating cyber security into core business strategy. Those that do not will face growing operational and strategic disadvantage.
