New cyberattacks using artificial intelligence (AI)
Let's take a look at some of the main attacks that hackers use to exploit AI to disrupt networks
Automated attacks
The use of AI allows attackers to automate the processes of scanning, identifying vulnerabilities, and executing attacks. In this way, cyber attackers can carry out attacks with high speed and on a large scale, which increases the effectiveness of the cyber attack and extends the detection time.
Adaptive attacks
AI can be used to adaptively behave attackers who can respond to changes in the network environment and security measures. In this way, cyber attackers can adjust their attacks to avoid detection and overcome the organization's security defense mechanisms.
False information and manipulation
Artificial intelligence can also be used to create false information and manipulate data in the network. For example, AI can generate false messages or manipulate detection systems, which can lead to a violation of data integrity and changes in the behavior of the organization's network.
Targeted Attacks
With its ability to quickly analyze large amounts of data, AI can help cyberattackers identify targets and vulnerabilities in an organization's network with greater accuracy. This allows attackers to conduct targeted cyberattacks on key network components with minimal risk of detection.
Generative Models
AI can also be used to create generative models that allow attackers to generate authentic-looking fake data, such as fake images, sounds, or text. This fake data can then be used for social engineering or to manipulate detection systems.
Machine Learning Abuse
Cyberattackers can abuse machine learning to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in algorithms used for security purposes, such as intrusion detection systems or antivirus programs. This allows attackers to bypass security measures and penetrate an organization's network without detection.
These types of attacks pose real threats to organizations and their networks, highlighting the importance of implementing advanced security measures and cyber protection strategies that enable detection, prevention, and response to cyber threats that exploit AI.
