Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming core technologies for threat detection and response tools. The ability to learn on the fly and automatically adapt to changing cyberthreats gives cybersecurity teams an advantage.
According to a survey conducted by Sapio Research on behalf of Vanta, 62% of organizations plan to invest more in AI security over the next 12 months. However, some threat actors are also using machine learning and AI a to scale up their cyberattacks, evade security controls, and find new vulnerabilities all at an unprecedented pace and to devastating results.
According to Bugcrowd’s annual hacker survey, released in October, 77% of hackers use AI to hack and 86% say it has fundamentally changed their approach to hacking. Today, 71% say that AI technologies show value for hacking, up from just 21% in 2023.
