Hacker AI vs. Enterprise AI: A New Threat

The adversarial use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in malicious ways by attackers may be embryonic, but the prospect is becoming real. It's evolutionary: AI and ML gradually have found their way out of the labs and deployed for security defenses, and now they're increasingly being weaponized to overcome these defenses by subverting the same logic and underlying functionality. Hackers and CISOs alike have access to the power of these developments, some of which are turning into off-the-shelf offerings that are plug-and-play capabilities enabling hackers to get up and running quickly. It was only a matter of time before hackers started taking advantage of the flexibility of AI to find weaknesses as enterprises roll it out in their defensive strategies. The intent of intelligence-based assaults remains the same as "regular" hacking.
