You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
Now you're hearing AI is also making cyberattacks worse. Great. More noise, more confusion, more reasons to feel behind.
Here's what the Akamai research actually means for you as a business owner — stripped of the tech drama.
AI isn't just a productivity tool anymore. The same technology being sold to you as a business solution is being used against businesses like yours. Attacks are longer, smarter, and harder to spot than they were 18 months ago.
You don't need to become a cybersecurity expert. But you do need to know that "we have antivirus" is no longer enough, especially if you handle customer payments, data, or financial transactions.
The one practical move worth making this week: ask whoever manages your IT — internal or outsourced — one simple question. "Are we protected against AI-assisted attacks, and what does that actually look like?"
That question alone will tell you whether you have the right person in that seat.
No new software. No ripping anything apart. Just one informed conversation that could save you from a much more expensive problem.
What's been your biggest frustration when trying to get straight answers from tech vendors or consultants?
