Malware Analysis and Development in the age of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we think about efficiency, automation, and problem-solving in recent years, affecting sectors such as healthcare, banking, and entertainment. Even though AI is a great tool for technological advancement, it also poses serious ethical and security issues, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity. AI creates a particularly difficult conundrum when it comes to malware generation, both as a vital tool for defense and a formidable weapon for cybercriminals.
We are entering a new chapter in cyberwarfare, as someone who has spent years researching cybersecurity trends and delving into complex malware, can attest. AI has two uses: it may be used to spread malware and as a defense against it, therefore cybersecurity innovation needs to be given more attention. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is helping with improved threat identification and incident response, as well as driving the creation of new, more elusive strains of malware.

The Emergence of AI-Driven Malware: A Novel Class of Dangers

Over the years, malware has seen tremendous evolution. Cybercriminals used manual coding techniques to develop simple infections, or trojans, back in the day. Because those early malware variants lacked the sophistication of today's attacks, they were frequently simpler to identify and stop. In the present day, artificial intelligence is significantly altering the way malevolent actors create and disseminate malware.
