Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a science fiction concept and has become a tool present in the daily lives of businesses and users. However, its development is not always used for legitimate purposes.  <\/span>Offensive AI is already a reality and is changing the rules of the game in the world of cybersecurity.<\/b><\/p>\n This type of technology is used to<\/span> automate and sophisticate cyberattacks,<\/b>allowing attackers to work with greater speed, precision, and adaptability. From tailored phishing attacks to developing harder-to-detect malware, offensive AI multiplies the scale and impact of threats. <\/span><\/p>\n Before discussing how to prevent these types of risks, it is essential to emphasize that <\/span>prevention and early detection<\/b> are more crucial than ever today. This is where comes into play tools like Kartos, the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) solution developed by  <\/span>Enthec<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Kartos enables organizations to<\/span> continually monitor their level of exposure to attacks,<\/b> including those driven by offensive AI, and take action before it’s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n When we talk about offensive AI, we refer to the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence models to<\/span> attack systems, networks, or users.<\/b>. Unlike traditional cyberattack techniques, offensive AI can learn and improve itself with each attempt, adapting to the defenses it encounters.<\/span><\/p>\n Some examples of AI cyberattacks include:<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n Although it may seem like a highly technical process, the operation of a<\/span> cyberattack with artificial intelligence<\/b> follows a recognizable structure:<\/span><\/p>\n This ability to<\/span> learn and improve continuously<\/b> makes offensive AI a challenge that cannot be combated with static security measures.<\/span><\/p>\n You might be interested\u2192<\/span>AI vs. AI: The duel between artificial intelligences in the cybersecurity war<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n The key to protecting yourself against this threat is to<\/span> anticipate and reduce the exposure.<\/b>. This is where concepts such as CTEM come into play, which proposes continuous risk monitoring and management.<\/span><\/p>\n You can’t protect what you don’t know. Maintaining an up-to-date inventory of exposed digital assets (domains, subdomains, corporate emails, etc.) is the first step. Tools like Kartos perform this monitoring continuously, alerting you to new exposures.  <\/span><\/p>\n The<\/span> Red Team exercises and controlled simulations <\/b> allow you to understand how your organization would react to a real attack. This includes testing specific offensive AI scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s not enough to have firewalls and antivirus software. You need to have  <\/span>detection and response systems (EDR\/XDR)<\/b> that analyze behaviors, not just known signatures.<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n Although offensive AI techniques can affect anyone, the level of risk and the approach to protection differ.<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n Kartos is not just a simple alert system. <\/span>It is a platform that integrates the CTEM philosophy, providing:<\/b><\/p>\n By incorporating this approach, companies not only react to attacks but also <\/span>prevent risk scenarios before they occur<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n Everything points to the fact that<\/span> AI cyberattacks will continue to grow in number and complexity.<\/b>. This doesn’t mean that defense is lost, but it does mean that it will require constant evolution in protection strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n The combination of <\/span>advanced technology, adaptive processes, and continuous training<\/b> will be the foundation for mitigating the impact of these threats. Companies like Enthec, with solutions like Kartos and Qondar, are already leading this change. <\/span><\/p>\n The<\/span> Offensive AI is changing the way we understand cybersecurity. <\/b>. Its ability to learn, adapt, and scale attacks demands a proactive and dynamic approach to defense.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you are a company that manages critical information or an individual concerned about your privacy, <\/span>having tools for Continuous Threat Exposure Management <\/b>is a necessity.<\/span><\/p>\n Do you want to know how to protect your organization from cyberattacks with artificial intelligence? <\/b>Find out how <\/span>Kartos<\/b> can give you the edge you need.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a science fiction concept and has become a tool present in the daily lives […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[32,34],"class_list":["post-4033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity-en","tag-kartos-en","tag-ai"],"yoast_head":"\nWhat is offensive AI, and why is it so dangerous?<\/b><\/h2>\n
