It reveals that AI-first businesses \u2013 those integrating AI into key processes and offerings from the outset rather than as a secondary enhancement \u2013 are paying an AI tax by failing to modernise security in step with AI\u2019s rapid expansion across IT infrastructure. These businesses report taking nearly seven months on average to fully recover from cybersecurity incidents, 80 days longer than businesses that do not identify as AI-first.<\/p>\n<p>The financial toll of a cybersecurity incident for AI-first businesses exceeds that of non-AI-first businesses by more than 135%. In fact, almost half (44%) of AI-first organisations claim that AI was directly exploited in their most recent security incident, compared to just 6% for non-AI-first organisations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speed of AI adoption is reshaping security infrastructure almost overnight. For AI-first businesses, the priority isn\u2019t to slow down innovation \u2013 it\u2019s to modernise security at the same rate that AI is transforming their infrastructure,\u201d said Marshall Erwin, CISO at Fastly.<\/p>\n<p>AI scraping alone has become a material cost centre for nearly two-thirds (64%) of organisations, with average annual infrastructure impacts exceeding US$348,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom unmonitored agentic activity to escalating scraping costs, the risks are real, operationally and commercially,\u201d said Erwin.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-First businesses are paying an \u2018AI Speed Tax\u2019 when recovering from cybersecurity incidents, according to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,24],"class_list":["post-192299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192299"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192299\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
