The future of ransomware threats is evolving with the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) by hackers to improve their coding processes.
Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) analyzed the new ransomware group FunkSec and found it using AI to generate code in its encryptors and tools.
AI-powered attacks are on the rise, making AI-powered defenses essential in combating evolving threats. Companies like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft are leveraging AI and machine learning for enhanced security.
Kaspersky recommends enabling ransomware protection for endpoints, keeping systems updated, and focusing on detecting lateral movements and data exfiltration for improved defense against ransomware threats.
