Machine vs. machine: The new reality of cybersecurity in ANZ
A survey of over 850 professionals reveals that frontier AI has enabled machine-speed cyberattacks that outpace defensive capabilities in Australia and New Zealand. The findings highlight a critical gap between updated policy frameworks and real-world operational security.
Why it matters
Organizations remain vulnerable to rapid AI-driven attacks due to fragmented data and manual response processes. This creates significant professional risks, including personal fines and removal for Australian directors following breaches.
The details
- Only 14% of AU and NZ organizations can respond to attacks at machine speed.
- Around 20% of respondents say their security data is ready for AI agents.
- 60% of Australian and 67% of New Zealand organizations have unmonitored environment gaps.
