AI-Powered Cyber Attacks and Defence Mechanisms

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an important component of modern cybersecurity. Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Generative AI are increasingly used to analyse security data, identify malicious behaviour, detect malware, classify phishing attempts, and support incident response. At the same time, the same technologies can be misused by cybercriminals to improve phishing, social engineering, synthetic-media fraud, vulnerability discovery, malware developme…

Current reading — gain

AI techniques can speed up and scale security analysis, helping detect malware, classify phishing and support incident response, provided data quality and human oversight are in place.

Current reading — problem

Cybercriminals can misuse the same AI technologies to improve phishing, social engineering, synthetic-media fraud, vulnerability discovery and malware development.

What this doesn’t fix

The paper is a literature-based review rather than an original experiment, and it states that AI defence effectiveness depends on data quality, monitoring, secure model development, explainability and human oversight.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2128 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
