Jana Dekanovska
Threat Advisor at CrowdStrike
CrowdStrikeGenerative AI is transforming cyber threats. State-sponsored, criminal, and hacktivist actors are integrating AI to accelerate existing techniques—enhancing reconnaissance, social engineering, and malware development. However, skilled operators remain essential to validate outputs. Resource disparities favor well-resourced actors with advanced AI access, while lower-skill groups leverage unrestricted models. Organizations must strengthen defenses through robust authentication, AI-focused security awareness, and vendor assessments.
