The study, which surveyed over 1,500 leaders across North America, Europe, and Australia-New Zealand, highlights growing concerns about AI-generated attacks, with 54 per cent identifying them as their biggest security risk.
The study found North America experienced the highest rate of reported attacks at 64 per cent, followed by Europe at 57 per cent and Australia-New Zealand at 51 per cent. In response, 63 per cent of security leaders plan to increase cybersecurity investments over the next 12 months.
