Artificial intelligence and cybersecurity: A double-edged sword
‘Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two’. Artificial Intelligence empowers both defenders and attackers in the digital world, which makes it a double-edged sword that holds immense potential for growth but also poses a significant threat. The technology employs ML algorithms to analyse datasets from various sources, such as network traffic, logs, user behaviour, etc., learn from them through past experiences and recognise patterns and anomalies, allowing AI-powered cybersecurity systems to detect even subtle deviations from normal behaviour and predict potential threats accurately. · Automation - AI can seamlessly automate routine cybersecurity tasks, giving humans free time to focus on the core, complex and strategic aspects of cyber defense. Let’s deep-dive into the dark side of AI that cybercriminals bring out to carry out attacks in cyberspace: · AI-enabled cyberattacks - If Artificial Intelligence can be used to defend cyberthreats, it can also be leveraged by attackers to conduct malicious attacks by exploiting the weakness of the cybersecurity systems.
