More and more individuals have the capabilities of hackers, using things like ransomware-as-a-service and AI, and for CISOs and other cyber leaders, the rapid adoption of generative AI "changes the threat landscape tremendously," he said. For example, the use of generative AI has made phishing attacks easier and more authentic looking. With generative AI, a non-English-speaking bad actor can instantly and nearly flawlessly translate an email into any language, making it harder for employees to spot the fakes. In fact, using AI to amplify speed and scale in cybersecurity is among the biggest benefits experts see coming in the near term. I think over the next year, cyber leaders are going to figure out where AI is really useful and where it's not."
