Threat Actors

At Google Singapore, Google Cloud’s Mark Johnston highlighted the ongoing struggle for cybersecurity defenders. He revealed that 69% of APAC breaches are detected by external parties, underscoring detection weaknesses. Google Cloud is leveraging AI to improve defenses, but acknowledges AI also empowers attackers. Initiatives like Project Zero’s “Big Sleep” use AI for vulnerability discovery. While promising, AI automation introduces risks and requires human oversight. Budget constraints and the need for partners offering scalable solutions pose challenges for CISOs. Post-quantum cryptography deployment is underway.
