Today, the most successful and damaging cyberattacks are executed by highly professional criminal networks rather than “lone-wolf” hackers. These criminal organizations have also become highly adept at leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools, making it extremely hard for IT security organizations to keep up — much less stay ahead of these threats.
Cybercriminals are using AI and ML to exploit vulnerabilities such as user behavior or security gaps to gain access to valuable business systems and data. A perfect example of these types of threats are deepfakes – they are realistic, hard to detect and surprisingly easy-to-create facsimiles of real people. Deepfakes have been rightly denounced for the personal harm they inflict through celebrity pornographic videos, the spread of fake news, conspiracy theories, hoaxes and financial fraud.
