Protecting Digital Assets From Cybercrime: The Role of AI in Cybersecurity
Are your digital assets truly safe?
Cybercrime is projected to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025.
And AI is both the weapon and the shield in this battle.
How is AI Revolutionizing Cybersecurity?
AI empowers security teams to:
⇨ Detect threats faster
⇨ Respond to attacks instantly
⇨ Predict where attacks will happen next
But it’s also being exploited by cybercriminals to automate and enhance attacks.
Emerging AI-Powered Threats:
1. Automated Phishing
✔ AI crafts personalized, convincing fake emails
✔ Evades detection with machine learning
2. Deepfake Technology
✔ Fake videos and voices so realistic
✔ Impersonates anyone to spread misinformation
3. Evolving Malware
✔ Malware that learns and adapts
✔ Bypasses security protocols
