Generative artificial intelligence has the potential to help improve cybersecurity defences – but it can be a powerful threat actor too.

Bhat relates some of the details of an attack that took place two years ago, and which is known as “the Mother of all Breaches ”. The breach was discovered in January this year by security researcher Bob Diachenko of Security Discovery. Today, all organisations have a high propensity for being breached, unless they do something to actively prevent it.

But we are not in a position to meet the attacks, Bhat says. There are currently 3,6-million vacant jobs in cybersecurity, and no-one available to fill them. AI has a role to play in plugging this gap. He points out that the attackers only have to succeed in one of their attacks, but the defenders have to be successful all the time.
