4 expert security tips for navigating AI-powered cyber threats
Briefly

Cybercriminals are increasingly weaponizing artificial intelligence to enhance their attacks across every phase. Using large language models, they create hyper-personalized phishing emails targeted at individuals by scraping social media and professional networks. Tools such as deepfake technology assist in deceiving multi-factor authentication and executing impersonations. Automation allows malware to adapt and evade detection, leading to a significant increase in cyber threat success rates. Experts stress that organizations must proactively strengthen their security strategies to combat these sophisticated threats, which are set to escalate further in the coming years.
These cyber attacks aren't speculative, either. Organizations that fail to develop their security strategies risk being overrun by an onslaught of hyper-intelligent cyber threats -- in 2025 and beyond.
AI provides malicious actors with sophisticated tools that make cyber attacks more precise, persuasive, and challenging to detect. This capability has dramatically increased both the scale and success rate of attacks.
Modern generative AI systems can analyze vast datasets of personal information, corporate communications, and social media activity to craft hyper-targeted phishing campaigns.
Deepfake technology enables attackers to generate compelling video and audio content, facilitating everything from executive impersonation fraud to large-scale disinformation campaigns.
