Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Global cyber protection expert, Acronis, is making its fourth appearance at the world’s largest technology showcase, GITEX Global Expo. To underscore its commitment to cybersecurity and its strategic sports partnerships, Acronis is hosting another renowned sports figure, former Manchester City striker and legend, Paul Dickov.
According to the Acronis regional spokesperson, the theme coincides with the increased adoption of future-proof innovations such as artificial intelligence in both businesses and home offices. Despite its effectiveness in simplifying numerous tasks and operations, this innovation is also increasingly being used by cybercriminals to develop undetectable cyber-attacks.
“Cyber protection has become a crucial concern for individuals and businesses. To become cyber fit, enterprises should take several practical steps to protect themselves against cyber threats.
As AI-driven solutions have become increasingly useful in enhancing threat detection and automating responses, they also introduce new vulnerabilities such as adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model inversion. On their part, hackers are leveraging AI to heighten the speed, scale, and scope of their activities. Generative AI, a specific type of AI, is now being used by hackers to develop malware and create more sophisticated phishing and smishing messages.
