For two in five Germans, AI-based cyberattacks have long been a reality

A representative study by G DATA CyberDefense highlights the changing perception of the IT security landscape
Artificial intelligence is changing and exacerbating the cyber threat landscape. Almost 40 per cent (38 per cent) of German employees assume that an attack involves AI support. This is one of the findings of the representative study “Cybersicherheit in Zahlen” by G DATA CyberDefense, Statista and brand eins. One in five respondents has even experienced several attacks which, in their opinion, were supported by artificial intelligence. This includes, for example, the automatic development of ever-new attack variants. Companies should continue to prioritise awareness-raising and training measures.

Too few skilled workers, too little protection: skills shortage threatens IT security

New study "Cybersecurity in Numbers" from G DATA CyberDefense shows that AI is intensifying the threat landscape while also strengthening defenses
Three-quarters of IT security and management decision-makers say IT security is being compromised by a shortage of skilled staff. At the same time, the growing use of artificial intelligence is intensifying the threat landscape. But AI is not only part of the problem — it is also playing an increasingly important role in defending against attacks. These are among the findings of the sixth edition of "Cybersecurity in Numbers," the representative study by G DATA CyberDefense, brand eins, and Statista, based on 5,000 respondents. The current issue is available now.

The independent testing institute awarded G DATA XDR “Certified Leader” status. The security solution stopped all simulated attacks before they were able to compromise critical systems. G DATA XDR achieved this result using its standard configuration, without any additional adjustments or optimizations. At the same time, neither false positives nor workflow delays resulted in additional operational costs.
