Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved into a pivotal tool in the cybersecurity industry, particularly with the rise of generative AI technologies like ChatGPT. This guide explores how AI, including various forms of machine learning, is transforming security practices.
Over 50% of security product leaders are already utilizing supervised machine learning, and more than 80% are integrating or planning to integrate generative AI.
While AI enhances security by processing vast amounts of data and automating tasks, it also poses risks, such as the potential for adversaries to use generative AI to create sophisticated malware and phishing attacks. This guide demystifies AI, distinguishing between generative AI and other machine learning techniques, and underscores the role of AI in both advancing and defending against emerging threats in cybersecurity.
