AI’s Dual Role in Cybersecurity and as a Potential Threat in Data Breaches

by Richie

in Artificial Intelligence in Trade, Industry

The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity is becoming a focal point for organizations as they navigate the complexities of data breaches, which have shown an upward trend in associated costs. According to IBM’s annual Cost of a Data Breach report, the average data breach now costs a firm $4.45 million, a notable increase of 15.3% since 2020. Small firms, in particular, are facing higher stakes when it comes to investing in robust cybersecurity measures.

AI’s application in cybersecurity has been multifaceted, enhancing threat detection and response through the analysis of extensive data sets in real time. Some cybersecurity solutions incorporate AI to finely tune system security with user access needs. IBM’s research suggests that companies employing AI tools experience, on average, 28.1% lower costs from data breaches compared to those not using AI.

However, AI’s sophistication also presents risks. Threat actors have adapted AI for malicious purposes, using it to power malware and sophisticated scams. From the evolution of botnets in the 2000s to ransomware like WannaCry in the 2010s, malicious software has continually advanced. IBM’s proof-of-concept AI malware, DeepLocker, demonstrated the potential of AI to remain dormant in a system until specific conditions are met. Malwarebytes has identified threats like Bizarro, which mimic legitimate banking sites coupled with keylogging, highlighting the evolving landscape of cyber threats.

Generative AI, in particular, poses new challenges, with the potential to create personalized phishing attacks, manipulate data, fabricate scandals, spoof digital identities, and generate further malware.

Conversely, AI also presents significant opportunities for enhancing cybersecurity. It can be employed to develop advanced threat detection, automate responses to incidents, and alleviate the workload on cybersecurity professionals. Machine learning (ML) algorithms can quickly adapt to new threats and potentially handle minor security breaches independently.

With the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals outstripping supply, AI and ML can offer crucial efficiencies. They can consolidate information from various sources, offering a cohesive and accurate assessment of security threats, an area where current tools fall short.

Notable antivirus providers such as Norton and McAfee are integrating AI into their monitoring systems. Moreover, tech giants like Google and Microsoft are exploring tools to detect AI-generated content through their initiatives like Duet and Copilot.

AI is set to remain a pivotal factor in the cybersecurity landscape, serving both as a tool for security and a potential vector for threats. The anticipated rise in AI-driven attacks underscores the need for businesses to proactively adopt AI-based security measures, upskill their cybersecurity teams in AI and ML, and remain vigilant in updating their defenses against the continuously evolving threat landscape.
