It's not personal, it's just business

Description

Advances in agentic AI are transforming the cyber crime landscape, allowing AI agents to autonomously execute routine activities through APIs. This technology brings efficiencies to both legitimate and criminal economies, potentially lowering barriers to entry for less skilled actors. The discovery of the first AI-orchestrated cyber campaign signals a new era for cybersecurity teams. While AI can act as a force enabler, making tasks easier and faster, it still requires skillful instruction and supervision. Defensive teams can leverage these developments by creating their own agentic systems to find and fix vulnerabilities, and deploy honeypot systems to engage malicious AI systems. The threat landscape continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities for cybersecurity professionals.
