Critical Infrastructure Under Threat: How Frontier AI Changes the Risk Equation

The critical systems we can’t afford to lose are the same ones attackers are racing to target. With a new generation of AI-augmented cyber threats, what used to be weeks of warning can collapse into mere hours. What is the current state of the threat landscape for essential industries, and what can organizations do to fortify their defenses? Uncover this and more in our report.

Mapping the Criminal Economy Targeting Critical Infrastructure

TrendAI™ Research went inside the forums, marketplaces, and Telegram channels where access to factories, utilities, and energy firms is bought, sold, and weaponized. Combing through two years’ worth of data revealed an underground where financially motivated brokers and ransomware crews now operate alongside state-aligned hacktivists, sharing the same entry vectors, the same pirated training, and in some cases, the same personnel.
