Nearly 130 organizations spanning cybersecurity, cloud computing, finance and other industries have signed an open letter calling for a coordinated, global surge in cyber defense as AI makes attacks more widespread and sophisticated.
Signatories include Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Check Point, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Oracle and OpenAI, which is leading the effort.
The letter warns that AI-enabled attacks will become significantly more capable in the coming months, putting hospitals, water treatment plants and internet infrastructure at increasing risk. However, the same AI advances are giving defenders new ways to fix security weaknesses, and acting quickly could make a lasting difference.
