20 Aug Combating the $10 Trillion Cybercrime Business
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 20, 2025
On a Bloomberg Businessweek Daily video feature last week, Anneka Gupta, Rubrik’s Chief Product Officer, discusses the emergence of so-called AI agents, which are being hailed as the next frontier in enterprise automation.
She also explains how her company assists when the use of such technological tools yields unintended results, like cybercrime.
Gupta spoke with Bloomberg News anchors and correspondents Carol Massar and David Gura. The key data cited in this interview comes from Cybersecurity Ventures, which predicts that cybercrime will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually in 2025.
This insightful video covers how cybercriminals are hijacking AI agents, how AI agents are going rogue, and more on the non-human risks we face as our world is evolving in the age of agentic AI.
