Ransomware Defence Begins with Fundamentals Not AI

The era of rapid technological advancements has made it clear that artificial intelligence isn’t only influencing cybersecurity, it is fundamentally redefining its boundaries and capabilities as well. The transformation was evident at the RSA Conference in San Francisco in the year 2025, as more than 40,000 cybersecurity professionals gathered to discuss the path forward for the industry.

It was essential to emphasise that the rapid integration of agentic AI into cyber operations is one of the most significant topics discussed, highlighting both the disruptive potential and strategic complexities it introduces simultaneously. AI technologies continue to empower both defenders and adversaries alike, and organizations are taking a measured approach, recognising the immense potential of AI-driven solutions while remaining vigilant against the increasingly sophisticated attacks from adversaries. 

As the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in criminal activities dominates headlines more often than not, the narrative is far from a one-sided one, as there are several factors playing a role. However, the rise of AI reflects a broader industry shift toward balancing innovation with resilience in the face of rapidly shifting threats. 

Several cybercriminals are indeed using artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to make ransomware campaigns more sophisticated a
