The role of generative AI in cybersecurity increases in direct proportion to the use of GenAI models among cybercriminals. Since attackers can now churn out human-like text, manipulate media, and create unrecognizable malware variants on a larger scale, organizations should rethink traditional approaches to email security.

Despite a ransomware payment controversy, some companies still decide to yield to the attacker’s requests. Doing so may seem like the easiest way out, but it comes with its own set of complications, both ethical and legal.

Is your industry at risk? Everyone should be adequately prepared to resist and recover from cyber threats, but these sectors will most likely be targeted in 2025 (based on insights from Spambrella cybersecurity specialists).
