Just as easily as AI can be used to create this LinkedIn post, it can be used by bad actors to bypass your cyber defenses. Google just reported something every business leader should pay attention to.

Its Threat Intelligence Group identified what appears to be one of the first real-world examples of AI-assisted zero-day vulnerability development by cybercriminals. The exploit targeted a web-based system administration tool and was designed to bypass two-factor authentication.

That should change how companies think about AI risk.

Most AI governance conversations have focused on employee use, data leakage, and acceptable-use policies. Those topics matter, but they are only part of the picture.

AI is also changing the speed and scale of cyber offense. Attackers can use it to analyze code, find weak assumptions, automate reconnaissance, improve phishing, and develop exploits faster than traditional security teams are built to respond. This does not mean companies should slow down AI adoption. It means AI strategy and cybersecurity strategy can no longer live in separate conversations.

The companies that win with AI will not simply be the fastest adopters.
They will be the ones that can innovate quickly while still protecting their systems, customers, data, and reputation.
