When it comes to cybersecurity in 2025, artificial intelligence is top of mind for many analysts and professionals.
Artificial intelligence will be deployed by both adversaries and defenders, but attackers will benefit more from it, maintained Willy Leichter, CMO of AppSOC, an application security and vulnerability management provider in San Jose, Calif.
“We know that AI will be used increasingly on both sides of the cyber war,” he told TechNewsWorld. “However, attackers will continue to be less constrained because they worry less about AI accuracy, ethics, or unintended consequences. Techniques such as highly personalized phishing and scouring networks for legacy weaknesses will benefit from AI.”
“While AI has huge potential defensively, there are more constraints — both legal and practical — that will slow adoption,” he said.
Chris Hauk, consumer privacy champion at Pixel Privacy, a publisher of online consumer security and privacy guides, predicted 2025 will be a year of AI versus AI, as the good guys use AI to defend against AI-powered cyberattacks.
