One of the most important jobs for CISOs in the AI era is to stay calm and carefully assess their organizations\u2019 risk exposure, experts said this week at the annual Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, Md.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t panic,\u201d Katell Thielemann, a VP analyst at Gartner, said during a talk on Tuesday about AI\u2019s impact on the security of cyber-physical systems such as industrial control equipment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, things are changing fast,\u201d Thielemann said, \u201cbut there are some low-hanging fruit\u201d that CISOs can tackle, such as disconnecting critical devices from the internet and monitoring remote access to the remaining infrastructure.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The recent debuts of <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Anthropic\u2019s Claude Mythos<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> and OpenAI\u2019s Daybreak, two powerful new AI models that can <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>find software vulnerabilities<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> much more quickly than previous tools, have rattled cybersecurity leaders, who have sought help countering the resulting risks. Technology vendors and consultants have rushed to meet that demand for help, in some cases with unnecessary or counterproductive advice and products. At Gartner\u2019s conference, experts urged CISOs and other security executives to focus on the basics rather than the hype.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does Mythos or Daybreak change? Velocity and volume,\u201d Dennis Xu, a VP analyst at Gartner, said during a session on Tuesday. Attackers are \u201ccoming at us much faster, and in the next 12 months [they will attack at] a much higher volume.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Still, Xu said, CISOs should remember two things: \u201cDon\u2019t panic\u201d and \u201ccommunicate.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to communicate \u2026 to the executive team [and] to the board that we are fighting a different game now,\u201d he said, adding that security executives shouldn\u2019t be afraid to use the new threat environment as an opportunity to demand larger budgets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But despite the increased velocity and volume, Xu said, businesses\u2019 defensive priorities should remain largely the same, with a…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
