“ THE NATURE OF DDOS ATTACKS HAS SEEN FURTHER FOCUS AWAY FROM PRIMARILY VOLUMETRIC AND PROTOCOL-BASED ATTACKS TOWARDS OTHER METHODS ”
MICHAEL SKELTON , VP OF OPERATIONS , BUGCROWD
Equally , just as AI has helped automate and increase the volume and intensity of attacks , it is increasingly being used in defence .
“ AI is being used on both sides of the equation ,” explains Michael . “ Threat actors are employing AI to automate reconnaissance and adapt attack strategies in real-time , making their campaigns more effective , and defenders are using it alongside machine learning to analyse network traffic patterns and detect anomalies that could indicate a DDoS attack .”
As AI models and their usage rapidly evolve , continuous changes in how it is used , both offensively , and defensively are expected . AI enables the scaling of activities for both defence and offence , adding potential for new tactics and mitigation solutions . cybermagazine . com 147
