Understanding AI-Powered Cyberattacks: The Next Frontier in Cybersecurity Threats
An AI-powered cyberattack leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the scale, speed, and sophistication of traditional cyberattacks. AI is used to automate processes, such as scanning for vulnerabilities, generating highly personalized phishing emails, and launching complex attacks across multiple systems simultaneously. These attacks can adapt in real-time, learning from security defenses and modifying tactics to evade detection. With AI’s ability to process vast amounts of data quickly, cybercriminals can launch more efficient, targeted, and harder-to-detect attacks, posing a significant threat to traditional cybersecurity defenses.
