Zero Trust: Strengths And Limitations In The AI Attack Era
DARKREADING, Monday, September 22nd, 2025
Zero Trust could help organizations fight back against attackers who use artificial intelligence, but new threats will require the architecture to evolve.
Zero trust principles such as network segmentation become crucial as attackers increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI), but there's still room for improvement if they are going to stand up to evolving AI threats.
Zero trust architecture relies on limiting access to accounts and systems and verifying identities to secure networks. But AI enables adversaries to craft more convincing phishing attacks and deepfakes, social engineering techniques that exploit identity. Zero trust needs to evolve to face that and other related threats.
