Check Point Research (CPR), the Threat Intelligence arm of Check Point, has unveiled its 2023 Mid-Year Cyber Security Report. The report uncovers an unsettling 8% surge in global weekly cyberattacks in the second quarter, the most significant increase in two years, highlighting how cybercriminals have cunningly combined next-gen AI technologies with long-established tools like USB devices to conduct disruptive cyberattacks.

AI has also emerged as a powerful tool for defending against sophisticated and ever evolving cyberattacks. AI-powered cybersecurity systems excel at identifying anomalies and detecting previously unseen attack patterns, thereby mitigating potential risks before they escalate.

Read the report now to see how you can protect your company from future cyber attacks.
