In this Hot Question, cybersecurity pioneer Kevin Mandia explains why artificial intelligence is about to fundamentally change cyber warfare. Mandia says work that once took two skilled hackers five days can already be completed by AI in as little as five to ten minutes. Instead of finding a single way into a system, AI can launch enormous numbers of attack paths simultaneously, remember every vulnerability it discovers, and eventually operate with little or no human involvement.
Mandia believes the next generation of cyber weapons will be highly specialized AI systems built to attack specific targets, from cell phones and computers to drones and critical infrastructure. He argues that the only way to defend against machine-speed attacks will be to fight AI with AI, using offensive systems to discover weaknesses before adversaries find them and automatically building defenses against attacks that have never been seen before.
They also discuss what happens as cameras, connected vehicles, wearable devices, homes, and businesses generate more data than ever before. Mandia believes AI will help make software harder to compromise, but warns that when a breach does happen, the consequences could be far more serious because society is becoming increasingly dependent on connected technology. He also predicts that personal AI systems could eventually learn what normal behavior looks like for each individual and automatically stop suspicious activity before a human ever has to intervene.
