Some of the key points from the NCSC's Impact of AI on cyber threat from now to 2027 assessment:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) will almost certainly continue to make elements of cyber intrusion operations more effective and efficient, leading to an increase in frequency and intensity of cyber threats.
- There will almost certainly be a digital divide between systems keeping pace with AI-enabled threats and a large proportion that are more vulnerable, making cyber security at scale increasingly important to 2027 and beyond.
- The growing incorporation of AI models and systems across the UK’s technology base, and particularly within critical national infrastructure (CNI), almost certainly presents an increased attack surface for adversaries to exploit.
Uh... goody?

Hack the planet !!!
I'm looking forward to being at #CYBERUK25 next week. Lots of interesting looking sessions and I'm sure it will be great to catch up with a lot of people too. Who will I see there? 🙂
I should also note that I have availability for writing news, features and analysis from the show. I already have several ideas and proposals about what to potentially write about, so if you're looking for editorial from one of the premier cybersecurity events in the calendar, please do get in touch! ✍
(Especially because I'm discovering that going as free agent means the costs of travel and accommodation are all coming out my own pocket! It's why I'm so late to sign up, but I couldn't feel FOMO twice in two weeks. So an opportunity to make that money back would be most welcome. 😅 )
