Enhanced Attack Surface Management Enables Early Threat Detection, Rapid Investigation, And Response
Fortinet News, Thursday, July 18th, 2024
AI is changing not only the attack landscape but also the rules of the game, helping attackers 'work smarter not harder,' according to Derek Manky, Fortinet VP of global threat intelligence.
Attackers have always found new ways to compromise networks, but executing successful attacks hasn't always been straightforward. Today's adversaries, however, have begun to leverage generative AI and Cybercrime-as-a-Service to accelerate every stage of their attacks.
These new tools and tactics have simplified the creation of highly sophisticated phishing campaigns using believable content, automated the process of finding system vulnerabilities, and enabled them to create effective exploits faster than ever, resulting in increasingly complex and efficient cyberattacks.
