AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity by enabling defenders to mitigate risks and adversaries to enhance cyber-attacks across the kill chain. Generative AI, including LLMs, is being used by attackers for automated reconnaissance, creating convincing phishing emails, and other stages of cyber-attacks, increasing attack frequency and reducing detection risks. Despite LLMs' strengths in improving AI-human interaction and productivity, their limitations, such as data integrity issues and vulnerability to prompt injection attacks, necessitate cautious application. This white paper underscores the imperative for defenders to leverage diverse AI techniques, including Darktrace’s Self-Learning AI, to defend against the dynamic threat landscape shaped by AI-enhanced attacks.
