Charl van der Walt, head of security research at Orange Cyberdefense, stated that generative AI tools pose a significant threat, favoring attackers by enhancing the volume of potential cyber attacks.
The Security Navigator 2025 report emphasizes the asymmetric impact of generative AI on security, indicating that attackers can leverage these tools to execute a larger number of cyber assaults more effectively.
Van der Walt noted that while generative AI can create more believable phishing content, the true advantage for criminals lies in the sheer volume of attacks rather than the quality of the content.
In exploring the benefits of generative AI for cyber criminals, van der Walt expressed skepticism about whether any advancements have fundamentally changed the threat landscape beyond previous capabilities.
