Why it matters

The article frames AI-specific assets (models, vector stores, prompts, AI-driven workflows) as new attack surface that traditional controls were not designed to protect, offering defenders a governance-oriented perspective on emerging AI risk.

An opinion piece by Katerina Tasiopoulou (CEO of Threatscene) published by BCS argues that AI is reshaping the cyber threat landscape by expanding the attack surface to include foundation models, training/inference data, prompts, AI APIs, vector databases and automated workflows. The article discusses shadow AI, third-party AI supply-chain dependency and the economic asymmetry between cheap attacker tooling and costly defensive investment, recommending centrally governed, monitored AI security.
