How At-Bay’s Cyber Advisors Can Help You Navigate AI Risk

From automating routine tasks to generating complex insights, artificial intelligence (AI) tools empower organizations to operate with unprecedented speed and precision. However, as AI adoption surges, so too does the potential for sensitive data exposure and AI-powered cyberattacks.

Threat actors are exploiting AI tools to launch increasingly sophisticated social engineering campaigns, craft convincing phishing emails, commit financial fraud, and develop complex malware. For many organizations, navigating the complex world of AI security can be a daunting challenge.

Fortunately, At-Bay’s Cyber Advisors are here to help. At-Bay Cyber or Tech E&O policyholders have access to At-Bay Stance™ Advisory Services¹, a team of cybersecurity experts who can assess and advise you on your cyber risk. 

Here’s how our team can help your organization use AI tools safely and defend against AI-powered threats.

Unique Insight Into Cyber Risk 

As a leading InsurSec provider, At-Bay has a unique insight into how AI could be impacting the threat landscape. By analyzing our data on insurance claims, we have learned a lot about how cybercriminals are using AI to carry out more advanced attacks on businesses.

One concerning trend we’ve noticed is the rise of email-based threats. According to our 2025 InsurSec Report:

• Email was the top entry vector for attackers, accounting for 43% of claims
• Financial fraud remains the number one loss category, accounting for 32% of claims
• 83% of these financial fraud claims originated via email

We believe that AI models capable of generating content could be behind the increasing complexity and success of these email threats. Due to their self-enhancing capabilities, AI models enable attackers to craft highly convincing, and personalized phishing emails that can circumvent traditional email security defenses. 

How At-Bay’s Cyber Advisors Can Help You Mitigate AI Risk

Organizations need more than just cutting-edge technology to stay ahead of cybercriminals. They also require expert guidance, strategic planning, and hands-on support to effectively manage risk and build resilience. This is where At-Bay’s Cyber Advisory Services come in.

We offer a comprehensive suite of advisory services designed to help our policyholders navigate the complexities of AI adoption and cybersecurity strategy. Our team of experienced security professionals works closely with clients to assess their unique risks, develop tailored strategies, and implement best practices for safe and effective AI usage. Here are the primary ways we can help your organization mitigate risk caused by AI:

Third-Party Risk Assessment

One of the key challenges organizations face when adopting AI is managing the risks associated with third-party tools and providers. At-Bay’s Third-Party Risk Assessment service helps clients identify and evaluate these external dependencies, assess the potential risks they pose, and develop actionable recommendations to mitigate those risks.

What we’ll do: We’ll work with you to analyze your AI tool providers’ security controls/practices and identify any potential vulnerabilities. We’ll then provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations for strengthening your third-party risk management program and ensuring that your AI partners adhere to the highest standards of security and privacy.

Cyber Maturity Assessment & Roadmap

To effectively manage risk and build cyber resilience, organizations need a clear understanding of their current capabilities and a roadmap for continuous improvement. At-Bay’s Cyber Maturity Assessment & Roadmap service provides a comprehensive evaluation of your organization’s cybersecurity posture, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for growth.

What we’ll do: We’ll assess your current policies, procedures, and technical controls against industry best practices and regulatory requirements. We’ll then work with you to develop a prioritized roadmap for enhancing your cyber maturity, with specific recommendations for improving your AI tool governance, data protection, incident response, and other critical capabilities.

Incident Response Exercise

Even the most robust cybersecurity programs can be tested by real-world incidents, particularly those involving AI-powered threats. At-Bay’s Incident Response Exercise service helps organizations prepare for these challenges by simulating realistic attack scenarios and testing their ability to detect, contain, and recover from incidents.

What we’ll do: We’ll work with your team to design and execute a customized tabletop exercise, based on your organization’s security concerns and the overall threat landscape. We’ll guide you through the process of identifying and triaging incidents, deploying containment strategies, and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders. After the exercise, we’ll provide a detailed report with observations and recommendations for enhancing your incident response capabilities.

Threat Hunt/Compromise Assessment

In the age of AI-powered threats, proactive hunting for signs of compromise is essential for minimizing risk and avoiding costly incidents. At-Bay’s Threat Hunt/Compromise Assessment service leverages our deep expertise and cutting-edge tools to identify any unwanted cyber activity in your environment.

What we’ll do: We’ll work with your team to collect and analyze relevant data from your environment, looking for indicators of compromise or attacker behavior. We’ll then provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations for mitigating any identified risks, as well as guidance on how to improve your threat detection and response capabilities over time.
