Rethinking Cybersecurity In The Age Of AI
Security Boulevard, Thursday, July 4th, 2024
With cybersecurity threats on the rise, it's harder than ever for organizations to adequately protect themselves, especially since any device connected to the internet poses a security risk.
The internet attack surface area continues to expand, cyberattacks have become constant and every organization is a target. Zero-day vulnerabilities have now become zero-day crises. The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the threat landscape. Hackers are using AI to build and automate scripts to launch persistent cyberattacks, far more effective than human attacks.
IT managers and CSOs need to rethink their approach to cybersecurity and protect their organizations from this new breed of AI-powered attacks. Longstanding methods, tactics and thinking must be updated and changed to deal with the new threats made possible by AI technology. Pre-existing assumptions about cybersecurity are becoming outdated in the age of AI, so new defensive techniques are needed.
