Cybersecurity is entering “a new phase” as artificial intelligence tools have matured and given IT defenders significantly less time to respond to cyberattacks and other threats, according to a new report released Monday. The report, authored by federal contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, concludes that threat actors have adopted AI more quickly than governments and private companies have adopted it for cyber defense. It points to multiple incidents over the past two years, like attacks carried out with the help of Anthropic’s Claude, that show both cybercriminals and state-sponsored hacking groups are moving and scaling faster than ever before.
