Pointing out that artificial intelligence technologies are dangerously increasing the speed and scale of cyber attacks, more than 150 cybersecurity companies have urged governments and businesses to urgently update their defense mechanisms.

Urgent Warning from Global Coalition

More than 150 cybersecurity organizations have come together to issue a call to governments and businesses, warning that artificial intelligence is increasing the speed and scale of cyber attacks.

In the statement signed by major companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, KPMG, Visa, Oracle, Microsoft, and Palo Alto, it was requested that defense systems be renewed.

Critical Infrastructures Under Major Risk

It was stated that artificial intelligence systems allow attackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities much faster than human defenders.

It was emphasized that vital public services such as hospitals, water treatment plants, and internet infrastructure are under serious risk.

Traditional Security Models Insufficient

Omer Or, head of cybersecurity at KPMG Israel, stated that we are entering an era where traditional security models may no longer be sufficient.

It was announced that attack capacity has increased at every level, from individual hackers to criminal cartels and state actors.

Massive Increase in Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

Omer Or said that frontier model artificial intelligences multiply the speed at which attackers produce zero-day vulnerabilities far beyond what humans can do on their own.

It was stated that overlooked weaknesses in legacy and operational technology systems are being identified by artificial intelligence.

Existing Vulnerabilities Easily Exploited

Ariel Litmanovich, founder of Aryon Security, stated that artificial intelligence makes it easier to find existing vulnerabilities rather than entirely new types of attacks.

It was noted that known issues such as misconfigurations and weak authentications are being utilized by attackers at high speed.

Artificial Intelligence Integration for Defense

Experts argue that organizations must integrate artificial intelligence into their internal defense operations in order to quickly detect anomalies.

It is strongly emphasized that processes must evolve toward resilience, coverage, and rapid incident response.
