AI’s Role in AI Generated Malware Variants and Evading Detection

AI’s Role in AI Generated Malware Variants and Evading Detection

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized industries, but it has also introduced significant challenges to cybersecurity. One alarming trend is the ability of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), to generate malware variants at scale, enhancing their evasion capabilities against advanced detection systems. Recent research sheds light on how AI can create over 10,000 malware variants while maintaining their functionality, bypassing detection in 88% of cases. This development poses a grave threat to cybersecurity systems worldwide. The New Era of AI Generated Malware Cybersecurity researchers from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 have revealed that while LLMs struggle to … Read more
