10 Mar Security Breach – 7 Mar 2025
Cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to power up all kinds of cyberattacks. From deepfake voices to AI-generated emails that mimic real communication patterns, attackers are using advanced technology to bypass traditional security measures and trick even the most cautious users. But AI isn’t just a tool for the bad guys — it’s also a powerful weapon for defenders. Tools like an AI-driven phishing defense solution harness the technology to analyse vast amounts of data, detect subtle signs of malicious intent and adapt in real time to evolving threats. Defenders can implement AI-enhanced tools to defend against these sophisticated attacks, like an AI-enhanced aniphishing solution.
