A powerhouse discussion hosted by CyberMindr, featuring cybersecurity leaders from Microsoft, Jio Platforms, FlexM, and CyberMindr. The experts came together to explore how AI is reshaping both attack and defense in the cyber world. Here's what you need to know:

AI is Transforming the Threat Landscape

• AI is being weaponized by attackers to automate, and scale cyberattacks.
• Generative AI and large language models are enabling sophisticated phishing, credential stuffing, and vulnerability exploitation at scale.
• Adversarial AI adapts in real-time to bypass traditional security defenses.

Evolving Tactics & Real-World Incidents

• Shadow assets are being rapidly discovered by attackers using AI-driven domain permutations and subdomain enumeration powered by NLP.
• GitHub leaks are exploited with AI to extract secrets and configurations rapidly.
• AI-generated password lists based on breached data and password policies are increasing brute-force success rates.
• AI-driven malware is capable of disabling endpoint detection tools (EDR/XDR) before executing ransomware or data theft.
• Attack automation and reconnaissance are now accessible to attackers with minimal technical skill.

Deepfakes and Social Engineering Are on the Rise

• AI-generated voice and video deepfakes are being used in targeted scams and impersonation attacks.
• Executives have been impersonated in highly convincing ransom calls and financial fraud attempts.

Defenders Must Fight AI with AI

Traditional tools can’t keep up. AI is now essential for:

• Reducing false positives in SIEM/SOAR
• Automating threat correlation across disparate systems
• Identifying anomalies across massive datasets in real-time
• Empower junior analysts to operate like seasoned defenders

Responsible AI Is Crucial

• Data privacy is at risk when sensitive information is shared with open AI platforms.
• Experts recommend using on-prem or private LLMs and enforcing governance over AI usage.
• AI adoption must be guided by ethical frameworks that prioritize fairness, accountability, and transparency.

How CyberMindr Helps

• CyberMindr leverages AI to simulate attacker techniques and discover external attack paths.
• The outside-in, zero-deployment approach enables organizations to identify vulnerabilities and threat exposures without touching internal systems.
