By 2028 , a quarter of enterprise breaches will be traced back to AI
Gartner has recently published its top predictions for IT organisations and users in 2025 and beyond . Notably , it predicted that by 2028 , 25 % of enterprise breaches will be traced back to Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) agent abuse , from both external and malicious internal actors . evolve and its capabilities become more accessible to the wider public , the threat of AI agent abuse rises , leading to enterprises being increasingly vulnerable . Consequently , Gartner suggests that organisations need to implement new controls and systems that prevent any potential AI-related enterprise breaches .
Gartner suggests that AI substantially expands what is already a vast ‘ invisible attack surface ’ for enterprises . As AI continues to
Abid Khan , Global Practice Head of Cyber Strategy and Resilience at HGS , believes that although AI abuse will be the source of many cyberbreaches , it also will be the best line of defence against them too : “ Nevertheless , despite AI being tipped as a major catalyst for future enterprise breaches , it is also the solution . AI is leading the way for organisations to tackle this wave of cybercrime , becoming many industries ’ greatest weapon in their data protection arsenals .
“ AI can rapidly analyse huge volumes of data to identify unusual patterns that would previously go unnoticed by manual investigation . For example , in the banking industry , it creates predictive models that can forecast future spending for consumers . By doing this , the technology is capable of quickly identifying any unusual buying behaviour that occurs in the event of a person ’ s banking information being breached . It subsequently flags these suspicious activities , mitigating any potential damage .”
Research finds six in 10 Australian employees don ’ t disconnect from work while on summer holiday
Dayforce , a global human capital management ( HCM ) leader that makes work life better , has released a survey of full time Australian employees that revealed workers don ’ t feel quite as productive during the warmer months – but they ’ re still continuing to check emails or notifications while away on holiday .
A significant majority of employees who have summer flex policies ( 81 %) feel there are negative aspects , including finding it harder to get work done when co-workers are less available ( 34 %), frustration from being too busy to take advantage of summer flex policies ( 28 %) and finding it disruptive to routines ( 26 %).
The poll , conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Dayforce , found that 45 % of employees say they are less productive during the summer , and four in 10 ( 39 %) say they tend to slack off when their boss is on summer holiday . However , more than six in 10 employees still don ’ t unplug from work completely while on summer holiday .
To perhaps beat summer slacking and keep employees engaged during the warmer months , six in 10 employees ( 60 %) say their employer has some form of summer flexibility , with the most popular options being flexible work hours / schedules ( 35 %), increased work from home options ( 26 %) and seasonal work from anywhere options ( 21 %).
Eighty-six percent of employees with summer flex policies agree they help to reduce burnout , but half of those whose employers offer these benefits ( 49 %) say they can ’ t always take advantage of them .
