Eighty-five percent of organizations have experienced at least one wireless security incident in the last 12 months, while 58% have suffered financial losses, with half of them tallying $1 million or more annually. More than a third report escalating wireless threats over the past two years, and the top reported driver of those threats is, of course, AI-generated or automated attacks. These stats come from a recent Cisco survey of 6,098 organizations in countries across the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). The report makes clear, and experts concur, that Wi-Fi networks are facing intensifying security risks as AI tools make it far easier for bad actors to ply their trade successfully. “The question is, how isn’t AI changing security,” says Zeus Kerravala , founder and principal analyst with ZK Research. “It’s allowing [bad actors] to do the things they did with wired [networks], but a lot faster and with a lot more granularity than they had before.” Mounting
