Artificial Intelligence as the Key to Cyber Resilience: Secure Integration, Protection Against Attacks and Intelligent Defence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now an integral part of business practice. The key challenge is no longer ‘whether’ to integrate it, but ‘how’ to do so safely and effectively. However, as the technology has advanced, new and increasingly complex threats have emerged: AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, personalised phishing campaigns and, in the future, AI poisoning highlight the growing potential for abuse. These developments can result in significant financial and reputational damage.
Against this backdrop, this white paper is aimed at decision-makers and IT security managers. Taking a hands-on approach, it shows how AI can be used both to optimise business processes and as an effective tool for defending against modern cyber threats. It presents specific recommendations for action based on current research, in-depth expertise and cross-industry case studies.
A particular focus is placed on the secure integration of AI into existing corporate structures, strengthening digital resilience and compliance with regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act. The key message is that, in addition to technological expertise, the successful use of AI requires, above all, a deep understanding of security issues and strategic embedding in business processes. The white paper is thus intended as a guide to responsible AI transformation that enables innovation and effectively limits risks.
