The Quiet Breach: Rethinking cybersecurity in the age of artificial intelligence

The biggest cybersecurity threat today isn’t malware. It’s trust.

A finance employee joins a video call with their CFO. The voice is convincing, the face is familiar, the request urgent. Minutes later, $25 million is gone. The attack came not from hackers, but from a deepfake.

This is The Quiet Breach.

As generative AI becomes deeply embedded in everyday business, the risks are no longer hypothetical. From hallucinated outputs and autonomous actions to shadow tools and regulatory gaps, the threat landscape is shifting faster than most organisations can respond.

This book explores:

• How AI transforms security incidents into silent, systemic failures

• Where detection, governance, and policy are already falling behind

• Why even experts are vulnerable to confident, incorrect AI outputs

• What new controls, behaviours, and oversight models are essential

Built on real-world cases and operational insight, The Quiet Breach offers a clear and urgent guide to the cyber risks posed by artificial intelligence. It shows what is already happening inside your systems, and what must happen next to stay secure.
