Hackers Using AI to Make Cyberattacks More Effective

Working in the cybersecurity field offers constant challenges. New threats from both internal and external sources emerge on a regular basis. Consequently, employees charged with protecting valuable assets like customers' Social Security numbers and proprietary company documents must stay up to date on new developments in cybersecurity. However, hackers also follow this pattern of constant learning to stay abreast of new ways to hack into organizations. Now, attackers are taking advantage of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to increase the effectiveness of their cyberattacks.
