Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving to be a double-edged sword in the realm of cybersecurity. On the one end, it is helping cyber professionals get ahead of threat actors, yet on the other, it is supercharging attackers ability to create advanced and personalised social engineering attacks, including against firmware.
While AI has largely been hailed for its ability to detect threats and identify vulnerabilities amid a global shortage of about 4-million cyber professionals its real transformative power will be in how it counters the pace and ingenuity at which attackers use it for their own ill-intended devices.
