Summary

  • Threat actors are using generative AI to create fileless malware that slips past traditional security measures and doesn’t create a unique signature, making such attacks harder to spot.
  • AI is being extensively used to automate phishing campaigns and scam social engineering at scale, taking advantage of human vulnerabilities.
  • There has been a near 60% surge in such AI-driven phishing attacks, according to Zscaler’s ThreatLabz.
  • Enterprises are being urged to embrace an AI-first strategy that unifies endpoint, identity and network security within a zero-trust framework to combat such threats. -CISOs are being advised to ensure that AI-driven solutions integrate effectively with human decision-making to mitigate risks.
