The security industry was hit by an increasing number of AI-powered cyberattacks in 2023, and that is not going to slow down in 2024. As these attacks evolve as AI infiltrates every aspect of business, here’s what security leaders should resolve to do this year amid AI threats.
Security defenses, almost by definition, are frequently one step behind threat actors as we often must see what we are up against before mounting an effective counterstrategy.

There’s now a drive towards convergence which is seeing disparate technologies brought together over the SIEM to complement its threat hunting capabilities. Putting these technologies over a single platform reduces complexity and brings down management costs and eradicates duplicated functionality.
In addition to five new state privacy laws, 2024 is expected to bring not only an amplified number of cyberattacks but also increasingly sophisticated attacks, including using emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), in what is a quickly and continuously evolving threat landscape.
To many, the new SEC rules that require public companies to disclose “material” cybersecurity incidents within four days of determining their materiality may seem like a challenging, if not unreasonable, demand. Companies should put a priority on preparing incident response plans that will help them meet compliance.
The only way to achieve data privacy is through implementing effective data security. A well-designed, privacy-first security program offers significant benefits to any organization while minimizing potential privacy impacts.
The EU’s recent negotiated agreement over the A.I. Act is one of the world’s first comprehensive attempts to govern the use of AI. Enforcement won’t kick in until 2025, but IT leaders are already trying to stay ahead lest they risk falling behind.
