As AI becomes weaponized against a rapidly expanding attack surface, traditional detect-and-respond security tools leave enterprises woefully at risk. Enterprises must adopt preemptive cybersecurity measures to thwart evolving AI threats or plan for ruinous business losses.
"By 2030, preemptive cybersecurity solutions will account for 50% of IT security spending, up from less than 5% in 2024, and replace traditional 'stand-alone' detection and response solutions as the preferred approach to defend against cyberthreats."
