Best Way to Combat AI Cyber Threats Is with AI, Five Eyes Security Agencies Say
The agencies said 73% system-breakthrough testing shows AI is lowering barriers for attackers and making patch delays more dangerous.
- On Monday, Five Eyes allies Australia, the United States, Britain, Canada, and New Zealand issued a joint statement warning that frontier AI is reshaping cyber risk in months rather than years, urging leaders to act immediately.
- Frontier AI models are exceeding industry expectations, lowering barriers for malicious actors and increasing attack speed and complexity, with the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation closing rapidly.
- Stephanie Crowe, head of the Australian Cyber Security Centre at the Australian Signals Directorate, urged organizations to patch flaws faster and retire legacy systems. "Defenders should learn from emerging technology such as AI," Crowe said.
- Cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a purely technical matter, the agencies stated, emphasizing that resilience is a core business responsibility requiring executives to ensure defenses hold during real attacks.
- On June 13, Anthropic suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models after Britain's AI Security Institute found one could break into systems about 73 per cent of the time.
