The Cyber-Storm: NLP Adoption and the Escalating Risk of Cyberattacks
Issack Shama Guyo, Md Rafiqul Islam, Xuan Wang, Jinghao Yang
Abstract
Cyberattacks pose a significant risk, causing losses for organizations, and remain a major concern for
stakeholders. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has driven organizations to adopt
technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems, often without fully understanding the
associated security trade-offs. While NLP systems offer significant capabilities, they also introduce
technological complexity, expand attack surfaces, and are prone to adversarial inputs. This study aims to
conduct a pre- and post-NLP adoption analysis using firm-level data to examine whether NLP
implementation leads to increased cyberattack risk. It further investigates how organizational and
environmental factors moderate this relationship. By addressing these gaps, the study contributes to the
cybersecurity and technology adoption literature and offers practical insights for balancing AI innovation
with security resilience.
Keywords
