Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the cybersecurity landscape β both as a powerful defense tool and a potential vulnerability.
π The Double-Edged Sword of AI
AI enhances real-time threat detection, automates incident responses, and helps anticipate attacks using predictive modeling. However, the same tech is being weaponized by bad actors.
π¨ Top Risks to Watch Out For:
- Adversarial Attacks β AI models can be manipulated by poisoned data or prompts.
- Data Privacy Leaks β Poorly secured AI systems may unintentionally expose sensitive data.
- Bias & Compliance Violations β Improperly trained AI can lead to biased outcomes, violating GDPR, CPRA, or the AI Act.
π§° Action Steps:
- Perform regular AI model audits
- Monitor inputs/outputs for adversarial behavior
- Use compliant data sets during training
Bottom Line: AI in cyber is a must-have β but only with tight compliance and oversight.
