AI in the service of cybercriminals

A senior Google executive has issued a warning: the ability to automate cyberattacks on a large scale is now a concrete reality, thanks to artificial intelligence. Cybercriminals are already exploiting process automation, and the development of complete toolchains is only a matter of time.

Implications for cybersecurity

This evolution requires CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) to prepare for a radical change in the threat landscape. The possibility of automated and large-scale attacks requires a rethinking of defense strategies and the adoption of new technologies to effectively counter these threats.

General context

The use of AI in the field of cybersecurity is a double-edged sword. While it can be used to improve defense and threat detection, it also offers criminals new opportunities to develop more sophisticated and difficult-to-counter attacks. The challenge for security professionals is to stay constantly updated on the latest technological developments and adapt their strategies accordingly.
