AI’s impact on cybersecurity is significant, offering powerful defensive tools like enhanced threat detection, faster incident response, and predictive analytics, while also presenting new risks like sophisticated AI-powered attacks and challenges in model security.
For defense, AI analyzes vast datasets to identify anomalies and automate responses, such as isolating compromised systems. For offense, attackers use AI to create more convincing phishing attempts and adapt attacks in real-time, leading to an ongoing arms race.
