Deepfakes, spear-fishing and falsifying data are just some of the cybersecurity risks that can increase as Artificial Intelligence progresses. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances rapidly, so does its potential to be used in cybercrime., The cybersecurity workforce will need to be prepared to secure AI against cyberattacks and to mitigate potential cyberthreats presented by AI, including where it is used with malicious intent. Additionally, integration of AI into new roles that may be developed (e.g., product security) will also be addressed via TKS statements., By integrating AI into cyber defense solutions at a local level, threat hunting and response tactics become increasingly democratized, and empower even junior security teams to quickly detect and mitigate advanced threats that would previously have required insight from more experienced analysts., This paper explores the crucial role of AI and ML in enhancing cybersecurity defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, while also hig- hlighting the new vulnerabilities introduced by these technologies., We provide an overview of how AI impacts security, including the cybersecurity challenges it poses and how orgs can use it to boost their security stance. AI creates new cybersecurity threats at the same time it provides new ways to strengthen your organization’s defenses., However, there are new difficulties and moral problems brought about by the incorporation of AI into cybersecurity. Robust security protocols and ethical standards are required in light of the severe threats posed by adversarial assaults, data poisoning, and weaknesses in AI systems..
