The Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) has warned businesses and corporate organisations about the growing threat of artificial intelligence driven cyberattacks, urging them to strengthen their cybersecurity systems to protect sensitive information and digital infrastructure.
The association raised concerns over the increasing use of artificial intelligence by cybercriminals to develop sophisticated methods of attacking organisations, including identity impersonation, deepfake technology, phishing schemes and automated cyber fraud. It noted that the rapid advancement of AI has created new security challenges, making it increasingly difficult for conventional cybersecurity measures to detect and prevent emerging threats.
ISACA stressed that businesses must move beyond traditional security approaches by investing in advanced threat detection systems, regular security assessments and employee awareness programmes. It also emphasised the importance of responsible AI adoption, effective risk management and continuous monitoring of digital platforms to minimise vulnerabilities and prevent potential breaches.
The association urged corporate leaders and technology professionals to make cybersecurity a central component of their organisational strategies, noting that the growing dependence on digital technologies requires stronger safeguards against emerging risks. It maintained that proactive investment in cybersecurity and improved digital governance would help businesses protect their operations, preserve customer confidence and build resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
