Cybercriminals have always had the advantage in the perpetual battle between defenders and cyber criminals. They have been unchallenged for many years. In many ways, workers at these companies can automate many of their tasks. This is especially pertinent when it comes to detecting and responding to attacks using AI and machine learning.
The development of these capabilities has not been nearly enough to keep ransomware at bay. However, it has nonetheless managed to produce a level of AI and automation that far surpasses what cyber criminals have accomplished in battling ransomware.
AI-driven phishing and automation are gaining traction with the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to phishing attacks to obtain access to target networks and to extend the reach of a ransomware attack, for instance, for which AI-powered automation has been used to mitigate ransomware attacks of 2023.
Ransomware attacks due to AI have increased over the past 12 months. There is no sign that it will slow down anytime soon, underlining the impact that it has had on ransomware attacks. As technology moves forward into the 21st century, it is believed that hacker-generated AI will become an increasingly useful tool for crafting increasingly effective attacks regardless of traditional attack methods’ enduring success.
