While organizations have invested heavily in securing endpoints, identities, cloud environments, networks, and email systems, adversaries have shifted their focus to the public internet, where brands, executives, employees, customers, and business workflows remain vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, 84% of organizations experienced a material digital risk incident during the past year. Despite the prevalence of these incidents, only 7% of respondents consider their digital risk programs to be mature or leading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital Risk Expands Beyond Traditional Security Boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Researchers found that modern digital risk campaigns are increasingly coordinated and multifaceted. Organizations reported widespread exposure to lookalike domains, executive and employee impersonation, and cross-channel attack campaigns that combine multiple platforms and techniques.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences extend well beyond cybersecurity teams. Operational labor, customer support burdens, executive involvement, legal response efforts, communications activities, and direct financial losses all contribute to the overall business impact. As a result, digital risk is becoming a board-level concern that requires cross-functional governance rather than isolated security tooling.<\/p>\n<p>The report notes that many organizations still lack centralized ownership for digital risk initiatives, creating accountability gaps that hinder effective response and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/new-research-highlights-growing-digital-trust-crisis-as-ai-accelerates-online-threats\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Research Highlights Growing Digital Trust Crisis as AI Accelerates Online Threats https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/new-research-highlights-growing-digital-trust-crisis-as-ai-accelerates-online-threats\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":266481,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cybersecurity-insiders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ai-risk-2.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-266480","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\/266480"}],"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=266480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":266482,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266480\/revisions\/266482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
