The Shifting AI-Driven Threat Landscape

As the modern threat landscape continues to expand, adding artificial intelligence (AI) to a security strategy has become paramount to establishing and maintaining an effective security posture. Given the speed and complexity of modern cyberthreats and the current cybersecurity skills shortage, network security teams need the assistance of machine learning and other AI-based capabilities in order to detect, secure, and mitigate modern attacks. However, it should come as no surprise that while organizations are adopting AI to bolster their security efforts, cybercriminals are also adopting of things like agile software development, automation, and machine learning to potentially leverage AI themselves to better identify and more quickly exploit network vulnerabilities.
