Summary: Cisco Talos published a blog on how generative AI is changing cybersecurity for attackers and defenders, noting adversaries use it for coding, phishing, evasion, and vulnerability discovery, especially as uncensored models spread. Talos says GenAI's direct role in malware remains limited, but its use in social engineering and vulnerability hunting is growing quickly.
Why it matters: GenAI is lowering the barrier for adversaries to launch sophisticated attacks and find new vulnerabilities, while defenders face analyst shortages and overwhelming data volumes that the same tools could offset.
