AI is being used both defensively and offensively in modern cyber attacks, creating a significant challenge for cybersecurity.
AI-driven targeted attacks focus on creating precise victim profiles, crafting personalized phishing emails, and predicting user behavior to enhance social engineering campaigns.
Evasion through automation involves AI enabling malware to adapt in real-time, bypassing traditional security systems and making intrusion detection more challenging.
The development of autonomous cyber weapons poses a serious threat, utilizing AI for launching coordinated attacks without human intervention and self-optimizing threat models.
