Video Highlights

  • According to the CrowdStrike report, there was a 136% surge in cloud intrusions in the first half of 2025, compared with all of 2024.
  • Global threat actors are using generative AI to get hired for remote IT jobs and to write and execute malicious code.
  • While AI is making cybersecurity more complicated, it is also a helpful tool for identifying attacks. Human threat hunters combined with AI security tools can improve a company’s cybersecurity posture.
