BSI: Nur jede zehnte Firma in Deutschland für KI-Angriffe gewappnet
Das Bundesamt für Sicherheit und Informationstechnik hat gemeinsam mit dem TÜV eine Studie veröffentlich, die deutsche Unternehmen auf KI-Abwehr untersuchte: Die Ergebnisse sind beunruhigend.
Berlin's BSI and TÜV Verband revealed that only one in ten German companies is adequately prepared for cyberattacks using Artificial Intelligence. Despite six out of ten firms experiencing a security incident or fraudulent attempt in the past year, only one in ten businesses with AI usage or plans have established specific protocols for handling AI-related security incidents.
Over five hundred major companies were surveyed by the study, with phishing emails posing as genuine messages being the most common attack form at 90% of the cases. Other methods include automated attack scripts (40%) and deepfakes (11%).
However, most companies remain inadequately prepared. Only eleven percent of AI-using or planning organizations have specific procedures in place for dealing with AI-related security breaches, according to TÜV Verband President Dirk Stenkamp. He warned that the recorded incidents could merely be the "tip of the iceberg," while acknowledging that the potential of Artificial Intelligence in cyber defense remains vastly unexploited.
