AI vs AI: The Autonomous Cybersecurity Arms Race Reshaping the SOC
Introduction: The Dawn of Autonomous AI in Cybersecurity Imagine a near future where a malware strain is not hand-coded by a human, but generated on the fly by an AI, and where the security system defending your network is itself an AI that detects and neutralizes the threat in milliseconds. This scenario is quickly moving from science fiction to reality. Recent advances in artificial intelligence – particularly large language models (LLMs) and generative AI – are transforming the cyber battlefield on both offense and defense. Attackers are equipping themselves with AI tools that can write phishing emails, find software vulnerabilities,
