ZDNet: 4 expert security tips for navigating AI-powered cyber threats
AI-powered cyber threats are reshaping security landscapes. Businesses that don't evolve will be vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated attacks - here's how to stay ahead.
I recently published an article for ZDNet about the rapid growth of artificial intelligence as a cyber weapon.
Cybercriminals are weaponizing artificial intelligence (AI) across every attack phase. Large language models (LLMs) craft hyper-personalized phishing emails by scraping targets' social media profiles and professional networks. Generative adversarial networks (GAN) produce deepfake audio and video to bypass multi-factor authentication. Automated tools like WormGPT enable script kiddies to launch polymorphic malware that evolves to evade signature-based detection.
These cyber attacks aren't speculative, either. Organizations that fail to develop their security strategies risk being overrun by an onslaught of hyper-intelligent cyber threats -- in 2025 and beyond.
