According to Hack The Box, those attack categories reflect growing concern over threats targeting AI models and autonomous systems directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining data signals a clear shift toward AI-driven attack vectors, highlighting where the next generation of cybersecurity risks is emerging,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n<p>The Hack The Box report also found that AI penetration testing ranked No. 4 globally among cybersecurity training interests and that enterprise-led AI security training completion rates reached 64% in late 2025. \u201cCybersecurity skill development is shifting toward a continuous, integrated model where offensive insights and defensive capabilities evolve together,\u201d the report states. \u201cCybersecurity training participation reflects an increasingly global workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/4174188\/ai-reshapes-cybersecurity-workforce-priorities-as-it-teams-brace-for-new-risks.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI reshapes cybersecurity workforce priorities as IT teams brace for new risks https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/4174188\/ai-reshapes-cybersecurity-workforce-priorities-as-it-teams-brace-for-new-risks.html Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":253578,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4174188-0-33725300-1779289386-shutterstock_2650209211.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-253577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253577"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253577"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253579,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253577\/revisions\/253579"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
