From air-gapped to wide open: The rising risks in industrial cybersecurity

AI and generative AI have not produced as many novel threats as once feared. But they have become force multipliers for traditional schemes, dramatically accelerating and expanding the scale, proliferation, and even the authenticity of threats. Once rudimentary social engineering schemes like email phishing, which relied on individual attacks, are now high-powered, more authentic and able to target far more victims than ever before – autonomously. And as cloud and wireless permeate more factory floors and production operations, once “air-gapped” secure locations are increasingly vulnerable. But there is a way out…
