.Artificial intelligence not only makes our daily tasks easier, but it also wages invisible battles on the internet. Until recently, cyberattacks were carried out by human hackers; we’re now entering a new, much more complex scenario: IA vs IA.
On this new front, artificial intelligences face each other. . On the one hand, we have malicious artificial intelligence, trained to discover vulnerabilities, evade security controls, or automate cyberattacks. On the other hand, defensive AI works to detect, analyze, and neutralize these threats. And all this happens in milliseconds.
In the midst of this silent struggle, companies need tools that not only react but also anticipate the opponent’s moves. . And that’s where Kartos comes in, the solution designed by Enthec for companies that want to be one step ahead.
What is Kartos, and why does it stand out in this war?
Kartos is a cyber-surveillance solution developed by Enthec, designed to help organizations continuously manage their threat exposure.. The objective is clear: to offer a detailed, accurate, and up-to-date view of the cyber risk that companies face from the outside in—that is, from the attacker’s perspective.
Using advanced technology and an AI-based architecture, Kartos analyzes, detects, and alerts on exposed assets, security breaches, data leaks, and other key indicators that cybercriminals could exploit.
It’s not just about monitoring. Kartos interprets information and helps prioritize actionsso that cybersecurity leaders can make informed and rapid decisions in an environment where every second counts. These types of solutions help us stay protected and avoid falling victim to the next automated attack.

AI vs. AI: A real-life battle or science fiction?
What a few years ago might have sounded like a futuristic movie script is now a reality in the digital world. On this new game board, Artificial intelligences compete against each other, with a speed and precision that surpasses human intervention.
The new dynamics of automated cybercrime
For years, cyberattacks were mainly the work of individuals or organized groups. Today, thanks to the accessibility of specific algorithms and platforms, attackers use artificial intelligence to automate their strategies.
From phishing to more sophisticated tools that test thousands of passwords per second, AI has become a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands.
At the same time, cybersecurity teams have not been left behind. They are developing systems that use machine learning and predictive analytics to detect suspicious patterns, anticipate movements, and close doors before they are opened.
The battle of IA vs IA is already underway.
Why is offensive AI so difficult to detect?
One of the reasons this war is so complex is that the AI used by attackers learns and evolves rapidly. . They can modify their behavior, disguise themselves as legitimate traffic, or replicate user habits to avoid suspicion.
According to a study by the consulting firm Capgemini, 97% of companies say they have suffered security breaches related to artificial intelligence,. which shows that defense against AI is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
From prevention to continuous management: the role of CTEM
Now, traditional prevention falls short,and it’s necessary to adopt models that operate continuously and automatically. The CTEM approach has become an essential tool for companies that want to maintain control in an environment where attackers learn and adapt faster than ever.
What is CTEM, and why is it so important?
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) is an approach that is proactive and adaptive, allowing organizations to continuously and automatically understand, assess, and reduce their exposure to cyber risk. In today’s environment, where cyberattacks can be directed and executed by artificial intelligence, having a static system is no longer an option.
Unlike traditional methods, which rely on periodic reviews or manual audits, the CTEM model evolves in real time and adapts to the pace set by offensive AI. Threats no longer wait; they are generated, learned, and mutated with the same algorithmic logic that should defend us.
And in an environment where intelligences attack and defend, the key is to detect the unknown before the attacking AI does.. Continuous threat exposure monitoring (CTEM) enables defenses to not only react to, but also anticipate adversary movements with a constant, live data-driven approach.
How does Kartos fit into this approach?
Kartos not only detects exposed assets (such as open domains, servers, or services) but also classifies and assesses their criticality and puts them in context with real-world data.. The AI built into the tool learns from the environment, analyzes behaviors, and improves its alerting capabilities over time.
This continuous focus results in a lower probability of incidents and greater response capacity when something unexpected happens. Instead of putting out fires, companies can anticipate and make decisions before a problem erupts.
AI vs. AI and the future of cybersecurity
The evolution of cybersecurity is closely linked to the evolution of AI. As threats are becoming more intelligent and more autonomous,defenses must be equally dynamic. The future points to collaborative artificial intelligence, which will play a key role in anticipating, containing, and neutralizing attacks before they materialize.
Are we prepared for what’s coming?
The good news is that most organizations are already beginning to understand that the traditional cybersecurity model is becoming obsolete. But the bad news is that attackers are always looking for ways to get ahead, and in many cases, they succeed.
In this scenario, the key is to combine technology, processes, and human talent.. AI doesn’t replace professionals, but it does enhance their response and analysis capabilities. Tools like Kartos allow security teams to focus their efforts where it really matters.
Furthermore, in the not-too-distant future, we are likely to see collaborative AI,which will not only react but also work in a network with other defenses to stop attacks in real time and on a large scale, a collective artificial intelligence at the service of global cybersecurity.
The AI vs. AI war is not a distant threat; it is the present of cybersecurity. Every day, thousands of attacks are launched and stopped without our knowledge, thanks to systems that learn, adapt, and respond autonomously.
For companies, the best strategy is not to wait to be attacked, but to prepare before it happens.
Enthec, with its innovative approach to cyber-surveillance and commitment to continuous threat management, is an essential ally in this new digital era for achieving maximum security thanks to artificial intelligence.
