Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we do business. It’s simplifying processes, powering innovation, and impacting organizational structures. While AI has its benefits in transforming business, the technology has also transformed how bad actors conduct their own business. They, too, are simplifying processes, powering malware innovation, and automating the attack chain to carry out increasingly sophisticated and targeted attacks.

We’ve entered a new era that features the widespread use of AI for malicious purposes. Common tools like ChatGPT and Gemini (plus dark AI tools) have introduced the technology to a broader audience of less sophisticated users who can now easily personalize sophisticated phishing attacks, create and write new malware, and more.
