AI Assisted Cyber Threats: An Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many industries, including cybersecurity. However, while it is a powerful tool for protecting systems, it has also been used by bad elements to enhance network penetration, a process where attackers break into computer networks to steal data or cause damage. With AI, hackers can perform more sophisticated attacks, making it easier to bypass defenses and compromise systems.

Ai's Biggest potential is the ability to adapt and learn, thus being able to adjust their attack methods to avoid detection. This adaptation can be put to use in network threats, social engineering, deepfakes, IoT, among others.

By analyzing data, AI can help hackers craft convincing emails, messages, or fake login pages to trick employees into sharing passwords or clicking on malicious links. Once attackers gain access to a network, they can use AI tools to navigate it, uncover hidden data, and escalate their privileges.

As AI continues to evolve, it becomes a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. While it offers new ways to protect networks, it also gives hackers powerful tools to launch more effective attacks. This makes AI-driven defenses an absolute necessity to counter these advanced threats.
