Over 90 Percent of Manufacturing and Automotive Leaders Display a Chronic Lack of Faith in Current AI-Based Cybersecurity, Arelion Research Reveals
Decision-makers believe that hackers are more likely to trick AI-based cybersecurity tools than those operated by humans
STOCKHOLM, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new report from Arelion, over 50 percent of manufacturing and automotive decision-makers see cybersecurity as their top network challenge, recognizing that – despite the benefits that it can offer – artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates a never-ending cycle of cyberattack and defense. Overwhelmingly, 90 percent of leaders in both industries believe that hackers are more likely to trick AI-based cybersecurity tools than those operated by humans. Almost one in four (24 percent) say that they are already facing DDoS attacks specifically engineered to circumvent AI-driven cybersecurity defenses, which only worsens these concerns.
The survey conducted in the US, UK, France and Germany, and the report entitled 'Industrial networks: can AI do the heavy lifting?' offers insights into AI's critical – and sometimes conflicting – effects on enterprise networks in the manufacturing and automotive sectors.
Across both sectors, 70 percent of respondents expect DDoS attack mitigation to be largely driven by AI (as opposed to humans) within four years. When asked where they felt AI will have the biggest impact, 32 percent of manufacturing leaders primarily say real-time detection and response, while automotive leaders suggest that dynamic and adaptive defense mechanisms, and incident response and management, will feature prominently (28 percent cited for each).
AI Raising Multiple Concerns
When measuring the claims for AI against genuine business benefits, 57 percent of senior network decision-makers do not believe that it has been overhyped and state that they are already seeing real benefits across their businesses. While 19 percent think that AI has been overhyped in the short-term, they foresee substantial mid- to long-term benefits. When looking at the findings of Arelion's broader, cross-sector survey, it is evident that manufacturers (62 percent) are already deriving more benefits than other sectors. Even so, 33 percent of decision-makers in the automotive sector remain wary, saying that they may implement AI but are currently unsure if such technologies will achieve all the claimed benefits.
On a positive note, 69 percent of enterprise network decision-makers in the manufacturing and automotive sectors are comfortable with increased AI integration in their network operations, with over half of respondents (57 percent) believing AI will reduce their network costs over the next three years. Even so, a significant minority (37 percent) foresee AI having the opposite effect, causing costs to rise.
Notably, however, manufacturing and automotive sector leaders are concerned that AI is:
Commenting on the results of the survey, Mattias Fridström, Chief Evangelist at Arelion, said, 'These radical, far-reaching impacts of AI mean that enterprise network operators need support. Organizations cannot cope with the complex impacts of AI on their own. They need assistance in the form of external resources, expertise and collaboration – particularly when it comes to cybersecurity.'
'Manufacturing and automotive organizations looking to mitigate the evolving cyber threats from AI need to be prepared for the long haul. Our research suggests that enterprise network decision-makers need to take account of key AI-related issues when considering their network strategy and their choice of network provider.'
Study Methodology
The research was conducted on behalf of Arelion by Savanta, a global leader in digital data collection. An online survey was carried out in the second half of 2024 with 510 industry leaders in the US, UK, Germany and France. Respondents come from a range of industries, and this report focuses on 103 (20 percent of the full sample) from the manufacturing and automotive sectors.
All participants in the research work for enterprises with more than 2,000 employees. All are involved in decision-making regarding their company's network development strategy (including data center, cloud and connectivity), with 60 percent having the last word and final sign-off responsibility for this area.

HIVE Digital Technologies Announces the Acquisition of 7.2 MW Toronto Data Center for Future BUZZ HPC and Sovereign AI Development
This news release constitutes a "designated news release for the purposes of the Company's amended and restated prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2025, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 11, 2024. San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2025) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) ("HIVE" or the "Company"), a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure, is pleased to announce the signing of a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a facility and its property with a total installed capacity of approximately 7.2 megawatts, located in Toronto, Canada. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in HIVE's mission to scale high-performance computing ("HPC") infrastructure and accelerate the development of a sovereign Canadian AI ecosystem through its wholly owned subsidiary, BUZZ High Performance Computing Inc. ("BUZZ HPC"). Situated in Canada's largest tech hub, this facility will serve as a foundational pillar for BUZZ HPC's next phase of growth. The acquisition will enable BUZZ HPC to deploy highly dense, liquid-cooled advanced compute infrastructure to support sovereign workloads, including large-scale AI training, inference, and cloud services tailored for Canadian enterprises, government initiatives, and AI innovators. "This acquisition positions BUZZ HPC at the forefront of Canada's digital infrastructure evolution," said Craig Tavares, President and COO of BUZZ HPC. "Toronto is not only the largest city in Canada, but also the country's most important center for higher education, AI research, and dense fiber optic connectivity. With the explosion of demand for HPC and AI compute capacity, this Toronto site gives us a critical footprint to develop a sovereign AI data center — owned and operated in Canada by a Canadian public company — ensuring data residency, security, and national innovation leadership." The Toronto data center provides a strategic platform to support HIVE's long-term vision of building Canada's next-generation compute infrastructure. As the world witnesses an Olympics-style competition to build sovereign data centers to meet the epic growth in AI — as seen and reported by OpenAI's hyper-growth to a $10 billion run rate in just a couple of years and over 400 million active users — HIVE is proud to contribute to a future where Canadian data, AI models, and intellectual property can be developed and hosted on Canadian soil. This acquisition also reinforces HIVE's commitment to sustainable digital infrastructure, with the opportunity to integrate green energy sources as part of our broader green-focused goals. Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of BUZZ HPC and HIVE, added, "As HIVE continues to scale, so now does BUZZ announce its scale, launching our Canadian sovereign strategy. This site will be BUZZ's first owned and operated Tier 3 data center, which will be strategically aligned with sovereign incentives. We will lead Canadian technology standards in the data center industry, as we will upgrade this site to liquid-cooled Tier 3 standards to power the next generation of GPUs for AI compute. We expect, once the upgrade is complete, this facility can operate a GPU cloud of up to 5,000 next generation GPUs for AI compute." Aydin Kilic, President and CEO of HIVE, stated, "We enthusiastically take this next step forward to drive value for HIVE shareholders through BUZZ HPC. Craig Tavares has hit the ground running and is accelerating our vision to position HIVE and BUZZ HPC as leaders in Canada's high-performance computing data center industry. His deep expertise and leadership are helping us seize this opportunity to build sovereign, Tier 3 liquid-cooled infrastructure that will power the next generation of AI and HPC workloads. With Craig at the helm of BUZZ HPC and the proven skill set of our team, we are confident in our ability to innovate and scale." About HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. Founded in 2017 as the first publicly-traded crypto miner on the TSX Venture Exchange, HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. builds and operates sustainable blockchain and AI infrastructure powered exclusively by renewable hydroelectric energy. With a global footprint across Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay, HIVE is committed to operational excellence, green energy leadership, and creating long-term value for its shareholders and host communities.
