Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing cyber security. Defenders are increasingly using it to mitigate risk and prepare for resiliency. Employees can use it to increase productivity, although this introduces new potential avenues for data loss, bias, and misinformation.
We are also at the beginning of malicious actors’ applying AI techniques to automate more laborious aspects of their attacks. This is the early warning signs that AI will be used to enhance and automate cyber-attacks.
This white paper explores how cyber adversaries can use generative AI as well as other AI techniques to their advantage through the lens of a sample AI-augmented attack – broken down across every stage of the attack kill chain, from reconnaissance to data exfiltration and encryption.
