Frontier AI Readiness

Prepare your response to Frontier AI risks

Frontier AI is redefining cyber risk. Assess and prioritize action on what matters most to your business.

From Months to Hours: Frontier AI Is Collapsing the Cyberattack Timeline

Frontier AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, attack-path chaining and exploitation at a pace many organizations are not prepared for. The challenge is no longer simply identifying vulnerabilities — it is determining which attack paths are exploitable, business-critical and require immediate action. NTT DATA helps organizations assess readiness, validate and prioritize action and strengthen resilience for an AI-driven threat landscape.

What Frontier AI Models Mean for Enterprise Cybersecurity

A CISO’s guide to understanding frontier AI risks and preparing their response.

Frontier AI is reshaping cybersecurity — speeding up how vulnerabilities are found, confirmed, and exploited across software, vendors, and the broader attacker–defender landscape. For enterprises, the challenge has shifted from getting access to AI to adapting to a world where threats move far faster than before. This means strengthening software assurance, remediation readiness, governance and overall enterprise resilience for a far more demanding security environment.

Key message

Defenders have less time than ever

  • Vulnerability discovery to exploit window has shrunk to hours from weeks and months earlier.

Know what can hurt you

  • The critical question is no longer how many vulnerabilities exist, but which validated attack paths can impact business.

Fix what matters most

  • Organizations need clear actions, ownership, timelines and validation processes to fix what matters to their business.

Board-level readiness

  • Frontier AI is a board -evel cyber risk and resilience conversation.
