Cyber security agencies from across the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have urged organisations to act now to mitigate the imminent threat of AI-enabled attacks. <\/p>\n

In a joint statement, cyber and intelligence agencies warn that sophisticated attacks launched using AI are months, not years away and that organisations must respond by adopting a top-down approach to preparing their defences. <\/p>\n

The agencies urged organisations to reduce their attack surface now by limiting unnecessary system access and dependencies, comprehensively adopt secure-by-design principles, reduce reliance on legacy systems, and strengthen identity controls. <\/p>\n

AI also holds strong defensive potential, the agencies added, and they advised all organisations to use the technology to radically speed up their patching process. <\/p>\n

The joint statement was signed by: the UK\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC); the US\u2019s National Security Agency and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; the Canadian Communications Security Establishment; New Zealand\u2019s Government Communications Security Bureau; and the Australian Signals Directorate. <\/p>\n

Richard Horne, chief executive at the NCSC, said that defenders must work to keep pace with the threat landscape as AI continues to develop. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is more important than ever that every member of an organisation, from the Board to the IT desk, works towards a shared mission: keeping our online world secure from those who would harm it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The NCSC specifically advised organisations to prepare for a \u201cpatch wave\u201d in the near future, a sudden rush of new patches that need to be applied as offensive AI tools allow hackers to find vulnerabilities much quicker. <\/p>\n

It recommended automated patching as a priority and to focus on external attack surfaces first to prevent hackers from exploiting latent vulnerabilities. <\/p>\n
