AI has turbocharged cyber threats. Can companies' defences keep up?

Søren Laustrup, CEO and founder of the cybersecurity startup Sovera Security, argues that discovering vulnerabilities is not enough to keep companies safe. He points to two Danish cases, the so-called PHP case and the CPR leak, as evidence. CPR is Denmark's civil registration system, so a leak linked to it concerns highly sensitive personal data.

The piece is framed around the idea that AI has sharply accelerated cyber threats, and it asks whether companies' defences can keep pace. Laustrup's position, as far as the text available shows, is that finding weaknesses is only the first step and that organisations need to do more once a vulnerability is known.

The text provided is only the opening lines of the original TechSavvy piece, and it cuts off while introducing the point about Danish companies. It does not give details of the PHP case or the CPR leak, what specifically Laustrup recommends, or any figures on how AI is changing the threat picture. Those specifics are not available here, so this summary cannot say what the proposed remedies are or how the two incidents unfolded.

The relevance for Denmark is that the argument is built on Danish incidents and comes from a Danish security founder. His message is that spotting vulnerabilities does not by itself protect companies, at a time when AI is speeding up attacks.
