AI to Increase Cyber Attacks Until Countermeasures Catch Up Over Next 2 Years: Lloyd’s Report

Posted on March 14, 2024March 14, 2024 By Mark Sauter

“The impact of GenAI on the cyber landscape is likely to increase the frequency, severity, and diversity of smaller scale cyber attacks, which will grow over the next 12-24 months, followed by a plateauing as security and defensive technologies catch up to counterbalance their impacts,” predicts the report, “Generative AI: Transforming the Cyber Landscape.”

DALL-E’s Interpretation Of It Hacking A Computer.

The report includes interesting analysis on the risk of catastrophic cyber attacks, a risk that drives so much of cyber insurance underwriting and policy concerns. Lloyd’s notes that cyber criminals — unlike state or terrorist attackers — have incentives to avoid catastrophic attacks, even when armed with AI: “Cyber campaigns tend to be designed with specific objectives and aim to maximise returns for the perpetrators, so most threat actors have a strong incentive to keep their actions concealed and their attacks contained. Catastrophes in cyber occur, for the most part, because the mechanisms put in place by the perpetrators to keep the campaign under control have failed.” [Cyber Insurance News: It’s interesting to note the parallels between this and the public health theory of actual viruses, which die out if they prove too deadly for their human hosts.]

“Transformation of Cyber Risk”

While AI may increase the chances of state-backed or terrorist cyber catastrophes, Lloyd’s focuses on the risk of “manageable cyber catastrophes” from non-state actors. The Lloyd’s graphic below outlines how AI will help cyber criminals

“(I)t is highly probable that the frequency of manageable cyber catastrophes will moderately
increase. The risk is very unlikely to sharply escalate without massive improvements in AI effectiveness, which current industry oversight and governance make improbable; this is an area where an increased focus from regulators may be helpful.”

Although the report calls for increase regulatory action, and provides useful details on how this might work, it also notes that AI capabilities have already escaped “into the wild:” “Hundreds of LLMs (Large Language Models/AI) now exist in the wild for a variety of tasks, many of which can be run locally on commodity hardware.”

We would have wanted more analysis of the positive impact of AI on the insurance industry and how it should and will be used for underwriting, risk control, etc, but we certainly recommend the report. Aside from its insights on cyber security, it also includes an usually lucid and practical explanation of basic AI trends, risks and regulatory issues.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
