AI is reshaping both sides of cybersecurity. Attackers use AI to scale phishing, automate credential theft, generate convincing deepfakes, and lower the barrier for malware development. Defenders apply machine learning for alert triage, anomaly detection, and investigation acceleration. Key stats: synthetically generated text in malicious emails has doubled, and infostealers delivered via phishing rose 84% YoY. Shadow AI poses a major internal risk, with 60% of IT leaders admitting to feeding confidential data into GenAI tools. Recommended defenses include enforcing MFA everywhere, building a shame-free reporting culture, governing shadow AI use, hardening email with DMARC/SPF/DKIM, assuming credential theft will occur, and adopting 24x7 managed security operations. The winner of the AI arms race will be determined not by who uses AI, but by who converts it into measurable security outcomes fastest.
