Our latest AI Risk report sets out a warning for UK businesses: attackers are already using AI to move faster, scale campaigns, and make threats harder to detect. Meanwhile, many organisations are still caught in the weeds, working out how to respond.<\/p>\n

More than half of UK business leaders say they\u2019re unsure whether they have the expertise to defend against an AI-powered cyber attack. At the same time, over a quarter of UK businesses aren\u2019t using AI to enhance their cybersecurity at all, posing a dangerous gap as attackers continue to automate AI-enabled phishing campaigns, generate deepfakes, and scan for vulnerabilities at scale.<\/p>\n

The challenge isn\u2019t a lack of awareness. 61% of business leaders in the UK say AI has played an important part in helping them successfully prevent a threat. 91% now call AI a priority for the next two years in their cybersecurity roadmaps. However, intention doesn\u2019t equal readiness. If implementation is slow or if the teams aren\u2019t equipped with the skills to manage AI-generated threats, attackers will continue to benefit from the advantage.<\/p>\n

The issue for many organisations is that AI adoption is often discussed solely as a technology decision, but it is also an operational and skills challenge. Their cybersecurity teams need to understand where AI can strengthen detection and response, and who\u2019s responsible for managing it day to day. Without that clarity, even businesses that recognise AI as a priority may struggle to turn ambition into protection. In this context, effective planning, comprehensive training, and leveraging trusted external expertise are essential.<\/p>\n

This gap becomes most visible in the threats that business leaders are already worried about. Rather than being purely technical risks, AI-enhanced phishing and deepfakes directly challenge employees\u2019 capability to judge what\u2019s genuine, urgent or trustworthy. As these attacks become more convincing, businesses need AI-powered defences that can detect…<\/p>\n
