CrowdStrike's latest threat intelligence shows attackers are treating AI infrastructure itself as a primary target, not a secondary tool. The shift is from defending against AI-assisted attacks to defending AI from attacks. Organizations deploying large language models face new vulnerability surfaces—model poisoning, prompt injection, and inference-time attacks—that existing enterprise security playbooks don't address. Attackers appear to be racing to compromise AI systems before defenses mature, forcing enterprises to balance deploying AI for competitive advantage against managing unfamiliar security risks.
