AI’s Growing Shadow: Key Takeaways from InfoSecurity London 2025
The recent InfoSecurity conference at ExCeL London once again underscored the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) firmly at the forefront of many discussions. A significant shift in perception was evident, highlighting the growing apprehension within the industry regarding AI’s role in escalating cyber threats.
Alarmingly, the percentage of cybersecurity professionals who believe AI will lead to increased attacks has jumped from 49.5% in 2024 to a staggering 64% this year. This sharp rise reflects a palpable concern among those on the front lines about the potential for malicious actors to weaponise AI, developing more sophisticated and evasive attack methods.
When Mondas visited the show, AI remained a hot topic, with many in the industry expressing uncertainty about its ultimate impact. While AI undoubtedly offers powerful tools for defence, its offensive capabilities are causing a rethink among security strategists. Indeed, almost 8 in 10 cybersecurity professionals now believe that AI will necessitate a complete overhaul of their security strategies. The traditional perimeter defence and reactive incident response models are increasingly seen as insufficient in the face of AI-powered threats.
This evolving threat landscape necessitates a proactive and adaptive approach. Organisations must prepare for AI-driven attacks and leverage AI themselves to enhance their defensive posture. This includes adopting best practices around AI and cybersecurity, ensuring robust incident management, and implementing frameworks that can adapt to rapid technological shifts.
