The dual role of AI in Cybersecurity
summary
Generative models speed up real attacks: Mythos finds ~180 Firefox bugs and Palo Alto reports 25 new flaws vs the usual five, while CTFs see top teams solve nearly all challenges in hours using agents. Labs and the AI Security Institute show models chain exploits and reach domain admin — roughly 70% success in one simulated environment. Defenses remain standard but urgent: network segmentation, zero trust, risk‑based vulnerability management, runtime guardrails and restricted agent identities.
