Cybersecurity expert Lawrence Pingree, VP of Technical Marketing with Dispersive (former Vice President at Gartner’s Technology and Service Provider research practice) has just published the concise white paper “How Cybercriminals Are Using AI: Exploring the New Threat Landscape.”
Key elements of the white paper are summarized in the Dispersive blog post “Addressing the AI ARMS Race: Why Preemptive Defense is Essential”. Topics covered include:
- AI driven methods and techniques such as automated attacks; phishing, social engineering and automated auth bypass, knowledge acquisition and polymorphic malware; and auth layer bypass such as CAPTCHA cracking and voice biometrics exploitation.
- Examples of AI exploiting vulnerabilities and evasion strategies.
- Deepfakes and types of AI used by attackers.
- Anticipating AI’s future cybercrime impacts.
- Practical steps for winning the AI ARMS (Automation, Reconnaissance, and Misinformation) race between attackers and defenders, including preemptive cyber defenses such as:
- Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) – randomization and preemptive changes to IP addresses, system configurations, etc.,
- Threat Simulation and Predictive Intelligence – leveraging AI to simulate potential attack scenarios and predict adversary behavior enables defenders to stay one step ahead, and
- Generative AI Runtime Defenses – using AI to detect and neutralize generative AI-based threats in real time enhances security resilience.
I read the white paper this morning and even though I work in this space, it was eye opening for me. It was also a bit scary to be honest as well. If you are responsible for defending your organization from cyberthreats, I would read the blog post and sign up to get the white paper as I think it will get your attention and make you rethink how you defend your organization.
