ABOUT THIS REPORT
Why We Wrote This
For years, the cybersecurity advice was simple: don't click suspicious links, use strong passwords, keep software updated. That advice is still valid — but it's no longer sufficient. AI has handed attackers capabilities that previously required nation-state resources.
This report cuts through the noise to explain what's actually changing, what it means for people who aren't security experts, and what you can do about it today.
"The question is no longer whether AI will be used against you. It already is. The only question is whether you're prepared."
