TLDR:
- Kaspersky advises companies to strengthen cybersecurity strategy when using AI and IoT.
- Interconnected technologies introduce new security risks that require attention to safeguard business assets.
According to a recent study by Kaspersky in the Asia Pacific region, a majority of companies have already integrated artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) into their infrastructures. While these technologies enhance data collection and process automation, they also expose businesses to new security risks. As interconnected technologies proliferate, businesses are urged to implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect against emerging threats.
The study, titled “Connecting the Future of Business,” surveyed senior IT security leaders to explore the implications of interconnected technologies on cybersecurity. It revealed that despite the prevalence of AI and IoT adoption, vulnerabilities to cyberattacks exist. Less adopted technologies like AR/VR and 6G pose significant cybersecurity challenges for businesses.
To navigate these challenges, Kaspersky recommends four key approaches to fortify organizations against cyber threats:
- Embrace secure-by-design principles to enhance defense against breaches.
- Invest in workforce training to empower employees with knowledge and skills.
- Upgrade cybersecurity solutions with advanced platforms like Kaspersky Extended Detection and Response (XDR).
- Ensure compliance with regulations to safeguard against legal and reputational risks.
By prioritizing these strategies, businesses can better protect their critical assets and customer data in an increasingly interconnected landscape.
