It’s officially Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a month-long collaborative effort led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance to raise awareness on how to stay secure online. This year, Deep Instinct is proud to be named an official Champion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a cause that further supports our mission of predicting and preventing known and unknown cyber threats.
This Cybersecurity Awareness Month is unlike previous years due to the sudden rise of cyber attacks leveraging generative AI. Want proof? Our recent Voice of SecOps Report found that 75% of security professionals witnessed an increase in attacks over the past 12 months, with 85% attributing this rise to bad actors using generative AI. This is a massive red flag for the C-suite and employees at large.
Combatting AI Threats with Deep Learning
Now, more than ever, attackers are leveraging AI to create new malware variants at an alarming pace. The issue is that current security mechanisms rooted in machine learning (ML) are ineffective against never-before-seen, unknown malware; they will only break down in the face of AI-powered threats.
The only way enterprises can truly protect themselves against AI-generated threats is with a more advanced form of AI – specifically, Deep Learning. Any ML-based, legacy security solution is too reactive and latent to adequately fight back – especially legacy AV tools including Symantec, McAfee, BitDefender, TrendMicro, and Kaspersky. Learn more about why you should get rid of your legacy and next-generation anti-virus (NGAV) tools.
What’s missing is a layer of Deep Learning-powered data security, sitting in front of your existing security controls, to predict and prevent threats before they cause damage. This is where Deep Instinct comes in – and the industry is taking note.
An Award-Winning Predictive Prevention Approach to Security
As a testament to our ability to predict and prevent cyber attacks before they happen, Deep Instinct has been honored with several industry awards over the past year. From product recognition to leadership honors, we are proud of our people, our technology, and our commitment to bolstering cybersecurity worldwide, through initiatives like Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

In this new era of AI, it’s critical that you prevent cyber attacks, not just detect and respond to them after the fact like EDR. That’s not nearly enough in this AI-driven threat landscape. That’s why it’s time to dump the “assume breach” status quo and demand more. Learn why EDR is NOT enough.
We’re proud to be a leader in raising awareness of this issue, while helping to bolster organizations’ cybersecurity posture during a time when it’s needed most.
