AI is transforming cybersecurity into an arms race, with hackers using generative tools for adaptive phishing, deepfakes, and malware, projected to cause $10B in losses. Defenses leverage AI for detection, but threats like ransomware, supply chain attacks, and quantum risks escalate. Strategic foresight and ethical AI integration are essential to counter these evolving dangers.
Ransomware groups are increasingly using kernel-level EDR killers, exploiting vulnerable drivers via BYOVD attacks, to disable detection systems before deploying payloads. This tactic, adopted by at least a dozen operators including through RaaS models, evades real-time monitoring. Organizations must adopt layered defenses and AI-enhanced tools to counter these evolving threats.
