JAKARTA - A recent Kaspersky study revealed that 46 percent of respondents worldwide believe most cyber attacks use AI technology.

With the emergence of AI-based cyberattacks, businesses of various sizes are now facing increasingly greater risks, as hackers can analyze employee data in depth to create more personal social engineering tactics, as well as launch attacks at high speed and accuracy.

This attack not only causes financial and reputational losses, but also fines, legal costs, and damage to customer trust.

According to Kaspersky, to counter the AI-driven cybercrime threat, businesses need to focus on building a comprehensive cybersecurity framework rather than relying solely on AI-backed solutions.

While AI tools play an important role in real-time monitoring and threat detection, they don't stand alone enough, the global cybersecurity firm said.

They assert that effective cybersecurity requires a layered approach that includes advanced security devices, periodic employee training, and proactive planning of incident responses.

By just combining technology, education and careful preparation, business can build a capable defense to face the challenges of increasingly sophisticated AI-driven threats.
