Recent developments exemplify how AI’s expanding role in enhancing attacker capabilities has escalated the potential for harm even further, beyond assistive uses. Attackers are now using AI to generate functioning malware code to conduct cyber-attacks, creating yet another new vector in the ever-evolving threat landscape.
Sharing too much information—especially details that reveal predictable patterns of movement—can be deadly. When bad actors can “connect the dots” of a person’s whereabouts, they gain the ability to plan and execute an ambush.
Artificial intelligence, whether machine learning or generative, is just another extension of the computer and is likely to become an important tool for security practitioners. But it will remain just that—a tool. As such, it will require someone to employ it, and more importantly, employ it properly and with skill. All tools are only as…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms are becoming increasingly accessible and better at recreating human language patterns. Industries across the board are adopting AI tools in efforts to increase efficiency and private security professionals can certainly benefit, too—if they are careful in how they do it.
