Hear from the experts

Leading voices from OpenText Cybersecurity share their thoughts on the report’s findings. Here’s what they had to say.

"The impact of AI on the velocity, scale and effectiveness of cybercrime is this year’s standout theme. Defenders must innovate at the same speed, or faster, than their opponents."

Matt Aldridge
CISSP, Senior Principal Solutions Consultant

"The advantage AI gives attackers today is real but temporary. Defenders who successfully operationalize AI will ultimately gain the upper hand because they control the environment, the telemetry, and the response surface"

Grayson Milbourne
Security Intelligence Director

"The scale and speed with which criminals rotate online lures and phishing sites on trusted cloud infrastructure require a dynamic, behavior-based approach."

Serena Peruzzi
Senior Manager, Web Analysis
