Uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence poses security risks in critical infrastructures
Experts evaluating the cybersecurity dimension of artificial intelligence emphasize that organizations should not grant broad access privileges and must conduct risk assessments.
While it is reported that artificial intelligence is increasingly used by both cyber attackers and organizations on the defense side, experts state that uncontrolled use creates security risks in critical infrastructures.
Artificial Intelligence Security Risks
Many companies can deploy artificial intelligence applications without adequately assessing security risks.
Organizations may lack comprehensive knowledge on how to secure these systems or the risks they might face.
Danger of Broad Access Privileges
Organizations can grant artificial intelligence systems broader access privileges than necessary.
When attackers seize control of the system, they can exploit these privileges to access additional information and steal data.
Precautions for Critical Infrastructures
Every organization using artificial intelligence, especially public institutions and critical infrastructure operators, must conduct comprehensive risk assessments.
It is of great importance to keep access privileges at the lowest possible level and to keep internet access under control.
Geopolitical Tensions and Cyber Espionage
Advanced persistent threat groups constantly change their methods to target public institutions, financial organizations, and structures holding sensitive data.
These groups, whose primary goal is to remain undetected in systems as long as possible to collect data, also target Turkey.
