Gen AI Is Transforming The Cyber Threat Landscape By Democratizing Vulnerability Hunting
CSO Online, Tuesday, January 7th, 2025
Large language models (LLMs) are proving to be valuable tools for discovering zero-days, bypassing detection, and writing exploit code - thereby lowering the barrier to entry for pen-testers and attackers alike.
Generative AI has had a significant impact on a wide variety of business processes, optimizing and accelerating workflows and in some cases reducing baselines for expertise.
Add vulnerability hunting to that list, as large language models (LLMs) are proving to be valuable tools in assisting hackers, both good and bad, in discovering software vulnerabilities and writing exploits more quickly, while bridging knowledge gaps.
