Red Teaming with Artificial Intelligence-Driven Cyberattacks: A Scoping Review

Institute of Information Technology Jamk University of Applied Sciences PO Box 207, FI-40101, Jyv askyl a, Finland Abstract The progress of artificial intelligence (AI) has made sophisticated methods available for cyberattacks and red team activities. The new methods can also accelerate the execution of the attacks. This review article examines the use of AI technologies in cyber-security attacks. It also tries to describe typical targets for such attacks. We employed a scoping review methodology to analyze articles and identify AI methods, targets, and models that red teams can utilize to simulate cybercrime. From the 470 records screened, 11 were included in the review. Various cyberattack methods were identified, targeting sensitive data, systems, social media profiles, passwords, and URLs. The application of AI in cybercrime to develop versatile attack models presents an increasing threat. Furthermore, AI-based techniques in red team use can provide new ways to address these issues. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, red team, red teaming, cyberattack, cybersecurity. 1 Introduction The possibility of artificial intelligence (AI) simulating human behavior has emerged as a significant cybersecurity threat.
