AI-driven attacks now account for 25% of malicious data breaches, up 56% year-over-year, costing $6 million per incident on average, 20% higher than overall breaches. 62% target critical infrastructure, especially finance and energy. While AI security tools can save nearly $2 million, a quarter of firms haven't deployed them. Only 18% use AI for vulnerability remediation, and over 20% have faced attacks on AI models. Closing the discovery-to-patch gap is urgent.
