Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way businesses operate, but it's also fundamentally changing how cybercriminals launch attacks. What once required specialized skills, significant time, and technical expertise can now be accomplished with AI-powered tools that dramatically lower the barrier to entry for attackers.
For managed service providers (MSPs), this shift creates both a challenge and an opportunity. Clients are looking to their trusted technology partners to help them navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape, and the timeline to prepare may be shorter than many realize.
Join us on Wednesday, August 26 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT for the webinar, "Six Months to Prepare: What AI-Powered Cybercrime Means for Your Clients," where industry experts will break down the latest research surrounding AI-driven cyber threats and explain the practical steps MSPs should be taking today.
AI Is Changing the Rules of Cybercrime
The cybersecurity landscape has entered a new era. AI is enabling attackers to execute sophisticated campaigns with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Criminals no longer need years of experience in operational technology (OT) or advanced security knowledge to target critical infrastructure, craft convincing phishing campaigns, or bypass traditional authentication methods.
Even more concerning, the underground market for unrestricted, guardrail-free AI models has expanded dramatically. These tools are no longer hidden deep within the dark web—they're easily discoverable online and are being downloaded millions of times, giving cybercriminals access to capabilities that were once limited to advanced research teams.
For MSPs, this means the threats facing clients are evolving faster than ever before.
Shadow AI Is Creating New Security Blind Spots
While organizations race to adopt AI to improve productivity, many are doing so without proper oversight.
Employees are deploying AI assistants, connecting third-party AI services, and installing AI agent skills faster than IT departments can monitor or govern them. These unsanctioned tools—often referred to as shadow AI—introduce new attack surfaces that traditional security programs frequently fail to detect.
Research shows that one in five organizations has already experienced a security breach connected to shadow AI, highlighting just how quickly unmanaged AI adoption can create serious business risk.
Understanding where these hidden exposures exist is becoming an essential responsibility for MSPs helping clients maintain secure environments.
The Six-Month Window
Perhaps the most urgent takeaway is the growing concern among researchers that AI-powered vulnerability discovery is advancing at an unprecedented pace.
Emerging AI models are becoming increasingly capable of identifying software vulnerabilities, dramatically reducing the time between the discovery of a weakness and its exploitation. As these capabilities become more widely available, organizations may have only a narrow window to strengthen their defenses before attackers gain access to AI capable of finding zero-day vulnerabilities at scale.
The next six months could prove critical for organizations that want to stay ahead of this shift.
What You'll Learn
During this webinar, attendees will gain practical guidance on how to prepare clients for the next wave of AI-powered cyber threats, including:
- Why AI has dramatically lowered the technical barrier for cyberattacks against organizations of every size.
- How shadow AI, unmanaged AI agents, unsanctioned tools, and forgotten accounts are creating security risks many organizations don't even know exist.
- Why AI-powered vulnerability discovery is shrinking traditional patch windows and increasing the urgency of proactive security.
- The three priorities researchers believe organizations should focus on over the next six months: aggressive patch management, continuous monitoring, and effective shadow AI governance.
