Warum Internet-Intelligence so wichtig für Security-Operations ist
Künstliche Intelligenz verändert die Bedrohungslage in der Cybersecurity grundlegend. KI-gestützte Angriffe beschleunigen Kampagnen und machen bekannte Angriffsmuster noch skalierbarer, gezielter und schwerer berechenbar. Dadurch entstehen nicht unbedingt neue Angriffsmethoden. Vielmehr werden bestehende Angriffsformen verstärkt, effizienter und haben eine deutlich größere Reichweite. Und selbst technisch weniger versierte Akteure können automatisierte Angriffe durchführen, für die bislang deutlich…
