AI-enabled cyber threats are evolving faster than critical infrastructure can safely adapt. Following OpenAI’s recent call for collective cyber defense, we examine the implications for OT security and explore how strong identity and access controls can protect legacy and hard-to-patch systems without disrupting essential operations.
TrendAI researchers identified thousands of internet-exposed cyber-physical devices near U.S. data centers. Their findings underscore the importance of securing not just servers and networks but also the operational systems and remote access pathways that keep AI workloads running.
